It begins by focusing on Mark 11:22-25, where the Markan Jesus teaches about prayer, and proceeds to Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane. Prayer as it is portrayed in Mark, the author argues, responds to the issue of theodicy by relating the faithful community to a God who can, but sometimes does not, eliminate suffering.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Sharyn Echols Dowd</note> <subject> <topic>Jesus Christ Teachings</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">226.306</classification> <classification authority="ddc">S532-D74</classification> <identifier type="isbn">1555402526 1555402518</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/8/27/z3675964257977_8f8cb56ea3160db542a34ce4e417b923.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/8/27/z3675964257977_8f8cb56ea3160db542a34ce4e417b923.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg">1</recordContentSource> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070732.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
