- Title
"When You Pray, Go into Your ταμεĩoν" (Matthew 6:6): But Why?
- Authors
Osiek, Carolyn
- Abstract
The author comments on the Matthean advise "When You Pray, Go into Your ταμεĩoν" (Matthew 6:6), as one that contrasts to the public display of prayer. He argues that the statement does not reflect rural Palestinian practice. He mentions different interpretations of the Greek word referring to the place where prayer is supposed to happen wherein one claims that prayer happens in the inner room/storeroom and another one calls it a secret room.
