Synopsis

Continuing where the first New Beacon Bible Commentary on Psalms left off, NBBC Psalms 73-150 expertly explores relevant details of these prayers and hymns such as their poetic features, theological emphases, and types (thanksgiving psalms, praise psalms, laments, etc.). Attention is given to Old Testament thematic elements found in the Psalms, as well as the important influence of the Psalms on Jesus and the New Testament writers. A helpful glossary and an extensive bibliography are included. Written by a formidable team of scholars, this volume is another welcome addition to the NBBC series. The New Beacon Bible Commentary is an engaging, indispensable reference tool to aid individuals in every walk of life in the study and meditation of God's Word. Written from the Wesleyan theological perspective, it offers insight and perceptive scholarship to help you unlock the deeper truths of Scripture and garner an awareness of the history, culture, and context attributed to each book of study. Readable, relevant, and academically thorough, it offers scholars, pastors, and laity a new standard for understanding and interpreting the Bible in the 21st century.
