-- Booklist
"Wright parses [the Lord's Prayer] in six parts to demonstrate that it contains the essence of Christian teaching. . . . Absorbing and inspiring."

-- Christianity Today
"Wright combines a sharp homiletical style with his rich background as a New Testament scholar. . . . The Lord and His Prayer is a helpful book for the devotional life of beginning prayers as well as for more mature Christians."

-- Christian Library Journal
"Fresh insight into the multiple meanings of the Lord's Prayer. . . . Worth reading slowly and pondering."

-- Theological Book Review
"This easily accessible series of reflections focuses sharply on that prayer which is at the heart of discipleship, relating it to the ministry of Jesus. Study groups and personal reflection will both be enriched by this work."
