| Summary: | Augustine and Luther are well known for their self-examinations of religious experience, especially its trials and temptations. Their theologies of prayer offer a distinctive window into this self-examination because they traverse the juncture between doctrine and practice, thereby addressing both the theological and pastoral concerns on sin and grace at the heart of their discussions of religious experience. While emanating from their personal spiritual lives, their theologies of prayer also are firmly rooted within the corporate context of the church and Christian catechesis. |
