Bryant's work is the first full treatment of Fuller's theology of prayer, demonstrating the vitality of prayer for Fuller's ministry and theological reflection. Bryant constructs Fuller's theology of prayer through a systematic analysis of six major doctrines: the doctrine of God, the Son, the Spirit, Humanity, the Church, and Last Things. Each chapter explores both how Fuller's doctrine influences his belief and practice of prayer, and how belief and practice of prayer influence doctrine. The study convincingly demonstrates how each major doctrine finds prayer as its corollary. As Fuller states, "Holy practice has a necessary dependence on sacred principle."
