In most English translations, the Psalms sound smooth and polished. Elizabethan rhythms and style dominate. As literature, they are beyond compare. But as prayer - God-directed expressions of anger, praise and lament - most English translations miss something vital. "Prayer is elemental, not advanced, language," writes Peterson. "It is the means by which our language becomes honest, true and personal. In the original Heberew, the Psalms are not genteel - they're earthy and rough. They are not the prayers of nice people, couched in cultured language. But they have an immense range of gut-level honesty and passion that provides them with terrific energy." Piece(s) of the spine missing. Due to age and/or environmental conditions, the pages of this book have darkened. Dampness has seeped into more than just the cover. Moderate edgewear on the boards. Binding is moderately loose. Some pages are falling out. Please note the image in this listing is a stock photo and may not match the covers of the actual item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 123775169
