One of the most respected Old Testament scholars of our time introduces
us to the history of scholarship on the Psalter and provides
hermeneutical guidelines for interpreting the book— making accessible to
us the transforming messages of the Psalms.
“This book’s many virtues make it instructive and refreshing: I
appreciate its stress on the psalms’ place in public worship, and the
speech-act notion of self-involvement in singing. Wenham also offers
helpful arguments for respecting the titles of the psalms. And the
creative approach to ‘canonical reading’ allows us to view each psalm
both as a composition for public singing and as a part of the canonical
book (which may guide our interpretation). I heartily commend this
work!”
