| Summary: | This volume originated in a research project at the Norwegian School of Theology (MF) in Oslo. The project brought together Norwegian and international scholars to two conferences held in 2011 and 2012, respectively. The proceedings of these meetings cover a vast field of texts and issues. In their introduction, Early Christian prayer and identity formation: Introducing the project (pp. 1-12), Hvalvik and Sandnes note, regarding the close connection between prayer and identity, that the admonition to pray continually in 1 Thessalonians 5:17 is worth observing,since what is done unceasingly becomes naturally conducive in forming people's identity. However, we do not know to what extent this admonition materialised. Nonetheless, prayer permeates early Christian texts, in practices as well as in instructions and admonitions. Thus the prayer-theme takes us to the practices of the early Christ-believers, or alternatively, to texts on their practice. This study proceeds from the conviction that Christian identity finds one of its most distinct expressions in Christian prayer, and also, conversely, that this identity was shaped and gradually formed by prayers (p. 1). |
