Beskrivning

The book of Psalms plays a significant role in the public and private prayer of both the Jewish and Christian communities today, helping to shape the minds and hearts of modern believers.In two commentaries, one covering Psalms 1-72 and the other Psalms 73-150, Dianne Bergant examines the theological and historical circumstances from which the psalms originated. She reveals how the psalms were intended for instruction as well as prayer, and helps us experience their lyrical nature. In a fresh encounter with these poems of lament, hymns of praise, and prayers of thanksgiving, readers gain a new appreciation for these ancient texts, remembering that God - who dwells with us still - is "gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in mercy" (Pss 145:8).

Recensioner i media

Dianne Bergant's commentary on Psalms 1-72 invites readers to pray through these lyrical, poetic texts and to meet the complex, transcendent, and gracious God whom they address. The Psalms offer profound resources to help us come to terms with our failures, sufferings, and challenges, and to celebrate in praise the joys of daily life. Writing clearly, Bergant explains difficult words and concepts and invites us to make these prayers a lamp for our eyes and a light for our feet.Kathleen M. O'Connor, William Marcellus McPheeters Professor of Old Testament, Emerita, Columbia Theological Seminary
