New Testament scholar and minister Hal Taussig answers  two vital but unexplored questions: How did Jesus--the Jesus of  history--really pray? What does his prayer life teach us about how to pray  today?  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombining a scholar's skills with a poet's voice, Hal Taussig reveals new  and unexpected ways of prayer--prayer as unsettling today as it was to  Jesus' audience two thousand years ago. The way Jesus actually prayed  appears to be very different from the prayers of his contemporaries, from  traditional church prayers, and from the latest styles of spirituality.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHal Taussig is a member of the graduate faculty at the Chestnut Hill  College Program in Holistic Spirituality and at the Reconstructionist  Rabbinical College in Philadelphia.
