El padre nuestro, rezado de manera intertextual

Abstract

Not all the arguments about the most genuine versions of the Our Father are convincing enough, neither the discussions on which sentences are reallyJesus´s own words. Without going into such arguments, the author studies the versions given by communities of prayer and the text used in the divine Liturgy. He also goes through the sentences of the Our Father one by one showing the possible foundations and horizons of each word in the Old Testament. Through this approach he discovers unsuspected dimensions for the exegesis and the biblical theology of the most popular prayer of the faithful. The reader can´t ignore the interpretative horizons of these evangelical verses when they are related adequately to the Old and New Testaments.
