Product Description
The Book of Psalms has been precious to countless Jewish and
Christian believers in many different languages and countries over many
centuries. It has expressed their hopes and fears, inspired their faith,
and renewed their trust in God. In this way, the spiritual insight and
religious heritage of a small number of ancient Israelites has had a
profound and lasting impact on humanity.
The Book of Psalms is also of great importance in biblical scholarship. In
the twentieth century, Psalms study was dominated by two approaches, but
now it is in the midst of a sea change, and the older perspectives jostle
for attention alongside newer interests.
This volume aims to bridge the gap between basic introductions and
specialized literature. Part 1 present overviews of current scholarly
approaches and Ancient Near Eastern prayer. Part 2 covers central themes of
distress, praise, king and cult. Part 3 gives an interesting sample of
approaches concerned with the Psalter's content and final form. Part 4
considers interpretative traditions, seen in the shaping of the canonical
Psalter and in later Christian and Jewish texts.
The authors are Craig Broyles, Dale Brueggemann, Jerome Creach, Timothy
Edwards, David Firth, Jamie Grant, David Howard, James Hely Hutchinson,
Philip Johnston, Michael LeFebvre, Tremper Longman, Dwight Swanson, Any
Warren-Rothlin, Gordon Wenham and Gerald Wilson. They have already
published many books and articles, and made significant contributions to
Old Testament scholarship
