Description
The Arrival of the King: The Shape and Story of Psalms 15-24 by Carissa Quinn explores the meaning behind these often-overlooked psalms. When studied together, they reveal a cohesive narrative about God's kingdom, centered around the suffering and deliverance of his Davidic king. Quinn identifies striking connections between adjacent and parallel psalms, showing how they form a sequence and chiasm. This structure is characterized by a sense of progress, from questions about who may ascend the holy hill to the divine king's own ascension. The book also delves into recursion, where themes in one psalm are developed in its chiastic parallel. At the heart of this literary work lies Psalm 19, where the king praises God's creation and Torah, praying for righteousness. By examining Psalms 15-24 as a carefully arranged unit, Quinn sheds new light on the rewards of approaching the Psalms with attention to their textual context.
