The Lord's Prayer

Thomas Watson (c. 1620-1686)

Watson's exposition works through each petition of the Lord's Prayer with the clarity and pastoral warmth that marked his ministry to his London congregation. Published posthumously in 1692 alongside the Body of Divinity, it treats the prayer not as a formula to be recited but as a pattern shaping all Christian prayer, from the address to God as Father through the doxology. Watson stands in the tradition of the Westminster Assembly divines, and the exposition grew from the same catechetical preaching that produced his Body of Divinity and Ten Commandments.
