Yes, according to theologian John Dominic Crossan. His thoughts on the Lord's Prayer are somewhat revolutionary, but speak loudly to a world plagued with such economic injustice. Just look at the US: do we remember the 1% and that we are the 99%? I like his term "enoughism" as the central idea of this prayer scripture says was given us by Jesus. Everyone on this planet deserves and is entitled to enough. The eternal Householder (his word for "father") demands in these words of Jesus that all be provided with enough needed to survive and live in peace. In the words of the worlds most famous prayer, greed and withholding that needed for all to live become the very definition of sin.
