The Lord's Prayer

by Thomas Watson

Thomas Watson (c. 1620–1686) was an English Puritan preacher, long minister at St Stephen's, Walbrook, in London, and one of the ejected ministers of 1662. Watson combined clear doctrine with vivid, memorable illustration and searching application. His Body of Divinity — sermons on the Westminster Shorter Catechism — together with The Beatitudes and The Ten Commandments, has kept him among the most readable of all the Puritan writers.

About this book

Thomas Watson's exposition of the Lord's Prayer, published as part of his body of practical divinity. Watson takes the prayer petition by petition, drawing doctrine and practical direction out of every phrase our Lord taught His disciples to use. It is Puritan preaching at its most orderly and nourishing, equally suited to study and to family reading.
