DO YOU DESIRE TO HAVE POWER IN PRAYER? Few books have had as much impact on calling believers in Christ to prayer as Albert Richardson's classic, "The Kneeling Christian" under the pseudonym "An Unknown Christian". In a truly interesting style, the author set about to familiarize Christians with the source of power available to them through prayer. He simply goes to the Scripture and points out how all real growth in the spiritual life, all confidence, and peace in the presence of difficulties and dangers, all victory over temptation, all repose of spirit in times of great disappointment or loss, all habitual communion with God, depends on the practice of secret prayer. This is one book worth reading and re-reading every single year because its message is truly timeless and never grows old.
This Christian classic, written by an unknown Christian sometime before 1930, is a passionate call to a life of prayer. Knowing that the subject of prayer is a mysterious and foreign concept to many Christians, the author addresses many of the perplexities of this practice, such as… What is prayer? How does one pray? Must we “agonize in prayer”? How does God answer prayer? What hinders our prayer? Who may pray? With many inspiring examples of prayerful preachers and missionaries, the author leaves no doubt that all spiritual growth—all victory, confidence, peace, and communion with God—comes only through the practice of fervent, heartfelt prayer.

In the last years of his life, Dietrich Bonhoeffer began work on an idea that he called unbewußtes Christentum, "unconscious Christianity." While Bonhoeffer’s other ideas from this period have been extensively studied and are important in the field of theology and beyond, this idea has been almost completely ignored. For the first time in Bonhoeffer scholarship, Eleanor McLaughlin provides a definition of unconscious Christianity, based on a close reading and analysis of the texts in which Bonhoeffer mentioned the term. From a variety of surviving texts, from a scribbled marginal note in his Ethics manuscript to the fiction he wrote in prison, she constructs a detailed definition of unconscious Christianity that sheds light not only on Bonhoeffer’s late work but his theological development as a whole.
In this theoretical investigation, Panikkar's remark on the unknown Christ of Christians is reevaluated and deepened in order to deploy it for rethinking Panikkar's ideas on the Church and its understanding of Christ.
