Hallowed Be Thy Name

A study of the twenty-three compound names of God found in scriptures.

“Our Father, who art in heaven….” The opening words of the Lord’s Prayer have become so familiar that we often speak them without a thought, sometimes without any awareness that we are speaking at all. But to the disciples who first heard these words from Jesus, the prayer was a thunderbolt, a radical new way to pray that changed them and the course of history. Far from a safe series of comforting words, the Lord’s Prayer makes extraordinary claims, topples every earthly power, and announces God’s reign over all things in heaven and on earth. In this groundbreaking new book, R. Albert Mohler Jr. recaptures the urgency and transformational nature of the prayer, revealing once again its remarkable, world-upending power. Step by step, phrase by phrase, The Prayer That Turns the World Upside Down explains what these words mean and how we are to pray them. The Lord’s Prayer is the most powerful prayer in the Bible, taught by Jesus to those closest to him. We desperately need to relearn its power and practice. The Prayer That Turns the World Upside Down shows us how.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that the Our Father ?is truly the summary of the whole Gospel? (no. 2761). Catholics pray the Lord's Prayer whenever they worship at Mass and say the Rosary, and other Christians pray it frequently as well. Join Scott Hahn (accompanied by St. Cyprian, St. John Chrysostom, and St. Augustine) as he unlocks the riches of the Lord's Prayer.

Within these pages comes the most blasphemous and crucial theological disclosure of the past two thousand years. Through years of scholarly research, Priscilla unveils the origins of religious mythology and validates Lucifer as our creator, savior and god, exculpating him of the "crimes" the Church has levered. She exposes the true mythological origins and identities of Jesus, Lucifer, Satan, God and Goddess through philology, etymology, symbology and narrative. For the first time, the complete story of Genesis chapters 2 - 11, on which the entire Old and New Testaments and the Qur'an rest, is detailed accurately. She shows how Satan is the third member of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, and why understanding this is the key to the Luciferian pursuit of enlightenment. This is the first work to offer a complete, definitive mythic basis for Luciferianism, which, at its deepest core, is Goddess worship.

If you have ever said the Lords Prayer, you have prayed that the Lords name be hallowed; that is, holy. But why pray for that? Because, even though the Lord is holy, His name can be made unholy if it is taken in vain - something prohibited by the Third Commandment. Therefore, it becomes important to understand what it means to take Gods name in vain. And if you think using Gods name as a swear word is the only way to take His name in vain, think again. Hallowed Be Thy Name will expand your understanding of what it truly means to take Gods name and why it is so important to pray that it be hallowed.

Halloween has been referred to as the Devil's holiday, but all 365 1/4 days were created by and belong to Jesus. If Satan usurps even one day it is our Christian duty and responsibility to reclaim and redeem it in the name of our Lord. Are the imaginary ghouls and goblins of Halloween any more wicked than the jolly elf called Santa Claus, or the Easter bunny? Should the Church stop celebrating these holy days, the bookends of our faith, as well? Instead of battling the spiritual enemy on Halloween, the Church is guilty of crossing swords with one another. We fight among ourselves, not about "how" to celebrate Halloween, but whether it should even be observed. Jesus is more the "reason for the season" on Halloween than He is at Christmas. The Church must realize it is forfeiting Halloween as an opportunity to glorify the Prince of Peace, the One who has given us the victory over the "prince of darkness" and his evil minions. The Way, the Truth and the Life has conquered Death and the grave. By dressing up in costumes and portraying frightening creatures who at one time caused us to fear and tremble, we are not glorifying Satan. Rather, we are poking fun at the Serpent whose kingdom has been plundered by our Savior, and whose head has been crushed! Should we celebrate Halloween? The question is, "How can we not?" Halloween, Hallowed is Thy Name offers a believer confidence and joy in expressing the greeting "Happy Halloween."

A new reading of P. T. Forsyth's soteriology, focusing on understanding his theology through the lens of the first petition of the Lord's Prayer.
