  The “Song of Miriam” is one of the oldest verses in the Hebrew Bible and it’s a prayer. What was the nature and role of prayer in ancient Israelite religion? And how can we trace the evolution of prayer into the New Testament period and Jesus’s institution of the “Lord’s Prayer”? Guest Judith Newman takes us on a fascinating exploration of the history of prayer in ancient Judaism and early Christianity.
