| Summary: | This collection of well-written essays, produced by a group of recognised evangelical scholars in the field,1 derives largely from conference papers presented in the Psalms and Hebrew Poetry section of the Evangelical Theological Society (2009 - 2011). The book consists a listing of the contributors, a table of primary reference abbreviations, a brief introduction by the editors, nineteen individual studies divided into five major topical sections ("parts"), a select bibliography for psalms studies, a subject index, and a Scripture index. The book aims to review "the enormous impact" of the Psalter upon the Christian faith and scholarship by "weaving together some [of its] primary theological, literary, and canonical themes" (pp. 15 - 16; all page references are to the volume under review). Space limitations preclude a detailed description of contents, so in addition to the descriptive essay titles (with their authors) I will be able to contribute only a brief summary and/or a point of special interest, often in the words of the authors themselves. I will relegate my occasional critical comments to the footnotes. |
