Victory in war, philosophical speculation, political propaganda and prophecy, sacred and profane love - the themes of these ancient hebrew songs cover every aspect of life. Since their composition during the Davidic dynasty (c.1000-586 BC) the psalms have remained, over the centuries, the most profound expression of religious feeling for Jews and Christians alike. Originally used for a wide variety of special religous purposes, they are characterized throughout by an insistence on the precariousness of life balance by the certainity of God's love and saving power, expressed by constant reference to the great events in the history of Jewish people. The unaffected beauty and spiritual appeal of the psalms have not only assured their place in private and communal prayer but have also established them in the widest context as poetry of great sensitivity and refinement.

Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
