MAGGAY NAMIN NAMIN AMA AMA ISBN 978-1-83973-267-6 The Lord’s Prayer unites Christians throughout history, speaking across the divides of language, place, and tradition. The oldest prayer of the church, it continues to speak to the lived reality of believers around the world, while inviting the body of Christ into a deeper understanding of the nature of God, discipleship, and the calling to holistic mission. Ama Namin brings together the voices of Filipino evangelical scholars in a profound work of contextual and biblical theology. Each chapter explores a portion of the Lord’s Prayer against the backdrop of Scripture and the foreground of Philippine life and spirituality. Contributors examine the rich history of the Lord’s Prayer in the Philippines – a history dating back to the first printed translation in 1593 – as well as its implications for the Philippines’ future, providing the church a foundation for public engagement and social transformation. Ama Namin provides a valuable teaching resource for the Philippine church and for all those longing to deepen their understanding of prayer, the contextualization of Scripture, and the love of the heavenly Father. Ama Namin is a must-read for those who desire to deepen their prayer lives and relationship with God. One is reminded that God is constantly inviting us to be in communion with him, to experience him as our powerful yet loving, caring, and faithful Father in heaven. MALOI MALIBIRAN-SALUMBIDES Lord Heal Our Land Prayer Ministry Ama Namin exemplifies the enormous value of careful biblical reflection done as an act of contextualization. My grasp of the Lord’s Prayer was greatly enriched and it helped my understanding of how to contextualize my own reading and understanding of Scripture. MARK LABBERTON, PhD Fuller Theological Seminary, California, USA Ama Namin brings together some of the brightest Filipino minds in Christian theology to reflect on the prayer first spoken by Christ. More than being a collection of excellent reflections, it is in itself a prayer in our unique Filipino voice: a firm and resolute confession of who our God the Father is and a hopeful vision of who we are as his people.
