Psalms
by Craig C. Broyles
- 2 Want to read
Craig Broyles examines the Psalms as a diverse collection of poems whose main roots are in Jerusalem's worship services. Both in the past and in the present, they provide dynamic liturgies though which the worshiper encounters God--often with vigorous dialogue--and finds meaning for life. Broyles makes the best of contemporary scholarship on the Psalms accessible to both general readers and serious students.

Work Description
To do justice to the biblical book of Psalms, we must respect the diversity represented in this collection. It contains some of the oldest literature in the Old Testament and some of its most recent, thus spanning several centuries. The psalms stem from a variety of social circles and traditions: the royal court, priests, Levites, prophets, wise sages, and the poor. And psalms reflect a variety of purposes: to praise, pray, testify, teach, crown a king, etc. - Introduction.
