Essay 11: Alienation
through Liberation (Phenomenology of Prayer)
Benjamin
Crowe states that the hermeneutics of prayer make certain claims about our
present and about our future. The first being that prayer out to be an
expression of a Christian’s alienation from the world of sin and death. The
second is that prayer ought to be a joyous response to an experienced
liberation from all forms of slavery. Ultimately, prayer should express a new
orientation that life has been set free. I agree with all of these statements.
Christians are called to live separately from the world and the
acknowledgements through prayer of the alienation allow one to incorporate it
further into his or her life. Additionally, if Christianity is alienated from
the rest of the world by its liberation for the failures of the world in a
sense of longevity, that there is hope, then prayer should reflect that.
