Book Description:

In the beginning, prayers were straightforward: people turned to God and asked for help. But by the end of the biblical period, prayers began to include references to Scripture. This process intensified as Judaism moved to early post-biblical times. This collection charts the main lines of the Scripturalization of prayer over this entire period.
