Constructing a Theology of Prayer: Andrew Fuller's (1754-1815) Belief and Practice of Prayer (Monographs in Baptist History)

Constructing a Theology of Prayer: Andrew Fullers (1754-1815) Belief and Practice of Prayer fills a lacuna in Fuller studies. Bryants work is the first full treatment of Fullers theology of prayer demonstrating the vitality of prayer for Fullers ministry and theological reflection. Bryant constructs Fullers theology of prayer through a systematic analysis of six major doctrines: the doctrine of God the Son the Spirit Humanity the Church and Last Things. Each chapter explores both how Fullers doctrine influences his belief and practice of prayer and how belief and practice of prayer influence doctrine. The study convincingly demonstrates how each major doctrine finds prayer as its corollary. As Fuller states Holy practice has a necessary dependence on sacred principle.
