In this powerful work, Boff unpacks The Lord's Prayer so that its imperative for social as well as personal transformation is made clear. He reminds us, "As we look at the deformed and deviant course of this world, it is not in the least evident that God is a Beloved Father. We need faith, hope, and love to overcome the temptation to skepticism and revolt, as we repeat with Jesus: Our Father. If he had not taught us this and asked us to pray it, then certainly we never would have dared to call out, with such confidence and intimacy, 'Dear Father.'"
