Abstract

This book is a revision of a dissertation written under the supervision of Judith Lieu and accepted in 2005 by King’s College, University of London. Tukasi’s work explores the relationship between determinism and petitionary prayer from a literary point of view. Specifically, he analyzes the interplay between these two motifs in the Rule of the Community (1QS) and the Fourth Gospel. He asserts that in these two texts prayer works within the deterministic framework of each text and is not opposed to it. Tukasi lays out a compelling case for understanding the connection between determinism and prayer in 1QS and John respectively, although he could have more clearly explained why these two texts were chosen as the focus of his study. In Chapter One, the Introduction, Tukasi lays out his goal of better understanding the interplay of determinism, on one hand, and petitionary prayer, on the other, in the two chosen texts, as the presence of both would seem to create theological and philosophical tensions—why is petitionary prayer necessary when the text assumes a deterministic worldview?
