초록
It is generally acknowledged that Matthew’s form of the Lord’s Prayer is liturgical and was most likely used by the community in its worship gatherings. However, given the Prayer’s petitions for the relief from hunger, hostility, and oppression, it would seem that Matthew also connects his attention to the desperate needs of the people of God living under the reality of the empire. Matthew’s state of being oppressed at the hands of Roman occupiers must have served as the impetus to initiate the dialogue in the form of prayer. In this regard,the reality of empire becomes a crucial context in which to understand the hermeneutics of the Prayer. When the colonial system appears as a hostile environment, Matthew forms the vision of a new world and its establishment beyond the imperial reign. Many critics have argued that colonialism never really ended but instead has survived in culturally and politically different forms. The representation of empire as such is being denounced in the Lord’s Prayer. This essay analyzes how the Lord’s Prayer stands with regard to the people of God and evaluates the implications of imperialism, both for the ancient communities and contemporary reading communities.
Abstract
It is generally acknowledged that Matthew’s form of the Lord’s Prayer is liturgical and was most likely used by the community in its worship gatherings. However, given the Prayer’s petitions for the relief from hunger, hostility, and oppression, it would seem that Matthew also connects his attention to the desperate needs of the people of God living under the reality of the empire. Matthew’s state of being oppressed at the hands of Roman occupiers must have served as the impetus to initiate the dialogue in the form of prayer. In this regard,the reality of empire becomes a crucial context in which to understand the hermeneutics of the Prayer. When the colonial system appears as a hostile environment, Matthew forms the vision of a new world and its establishment beyond the imperial reign. Many critics have argued that colonialism never really ended but instead has survived in culturally and politically different forms. The representation of empire as such is being denounced in the Lord’s Prayer. This essay analyzes how the Lord’s Prayer stands with regard to the people of God and evaluates the implications of imperialism, both for the ancient communities and contemporary reading communities.
