About this book

This collection of essays on the Psalms by distinguished Old Testament scholars is a snapshot of the most current scholarly work on the Psalter. The book is divided into five sections that 1) give an overview of Psalms studies in the 21st century; 2) discuss psalms of praise; 3) explore psalms of lament; 4) look at the big picture of the Psalter as a book; and 5) present sermons on the Psalms that are models of evangelical engagement with the text. A Select Bibliography for Psalms Study is included at the end of the book.
