DVD Review: An Honest Introduction to the Theology of Prayer
Summary: 5 Stars
In the nineteenth installment of the Nooma DVD series, Rob Bell, the preaching pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church, introduces a discussion of prayer that begins in a place that many people, Christians and non-Christians alike, find themselves struggling: the almost seeming randomness of whether prayer is answered and whether God is truly present in the lives of those who reach out to Him. What is remarkable in his homily is that within the span of twelve minutes, Bell takes the viewer from these questions to a consideration of the broader theology of what prayer is and what it might accomplish, even when our prayers may not seem to be heard.
I think my favorite moment of the entire presentation is when Rob suggests that very often we may be the answer to our own prayers if we are honest enough to look at what we have been gifted with. As he puts it, "Don't ask God to feed the hungry when you have enough food." Beyond this, Bell discusses the role prayer plays within the idea of having a relationship with a creative God who has imbued His creations with that same power to create.
I unreservedly recommend this short presentation as an introduction to a longer and more involved discussion on prayer. Bell introduces the topics and the difficulties but he wisely offers no quick and easy answers but invites the viewer to consider the ideas and move into a deeper consideration of the topic. As with the other Nooma DVDs, this is most likely best used as a discussion starter in a small group setting for those who are willing to search beyond the pat answers and explanations to a difficult topic of faith. Well done Rob and all the others who work to bring this series to the rest of us.
