Well, here we are at the final two chapters of Crump's book on NT Petitionary Prayer. I've given you a provocative title for this post, and hopefully by then end you'll agree that it fits. The penultimate chapter deals with the prayer material in the General Letters and Revelation. There's some really good insight into specific issues hidden in this section. For example, there is a restrained but suggestive reading of Hebrews that Jesus struggled in prayer with the necessity of his forth-coming death, and that Jesus did indeed pray with loud cries and tears because like us, he was learning obedience through prayer.
