Description
Book SynopsisConsiders the complexity of the Psalms and their role in bearing witness to the theological claims that comprise Israel's traditions. While no single volume can capture the full range of the Psalter's theology, this book provides reflection on themes in selected psalms, in collections of psalms, and across the structure of the Psalter itself.
Trade ReviewThe abundance of footnotes, technical terms, and Hebrew throughout make this volume particularly useful for those with a professional interest in the study of the Psalms. -- Brother John R. Barker, OFM -- The Bible Today
