Description
The Psalms possess an enduring fascination for us. Their frankness, directness and intensity make them unrivaled in all of Scripture. Despite their familiarity to Christians, the Psalms can cause difficulties when studied closely due to unfamiliar poetic forms and foreign imagery. Tremper Longman provides help to overcome these challenges by explaining various types of psalms, their use in Hebrew worship, and their relationship to the rest of the Old Testament. He also explores how Christians can appropriate their message and insights today. This book offers step-by-step suggestions for interpreting the Psalms on your own, along with exercises for further study and reflection. A guide to commentaries on the Psalms is also included.
