The Covenant Foundations of Corporate Prayer

The narratives of Scripture and church history reveal the enduring truth that corporate prayer is founded upon God’s covenant relationship with his people. In this text, using three foundational Scripture texts, I will examine the biblical foundations of covenant and corporate prayer. I will also trace a historical trajectory of theological belief and practice related to corporate prayer by examining the theology of three key figures in church history: Tertullian, John Calvin, and C.H. Spurgeon. In examining these key texts and historical figures, the prominence of covenant is seen to shape the prayers of God’s people, for covenant is the foundation upon which God’s people pray.
