Synopsis

This book examines the 150 psalms comprising the first book of the Old Testament. An enduring legacy from the Jewish faith, the psalms have profoundly impacted Christian worship and literature for 2,000 years and remain a crucial resource for contemporary spiritual life. For the author, the psalms exemplify a literary and spiritual tradition spanning multiple historical and cultural contexts. The author's analysis reveals the influence of ancient Hebrew poetry on the creation of the psalms, exploring concepts of parallelism, inversion, and metaphor. Moreover, this book considers how the Christian appropriation of the psalms has produced additional layers of meaning, resulting in a rich tapestry of interpretation and use throughout the ages.
