Synopsis

The Psalms: Language for All Seasons of the Soul brings together essays from eighteen Old Testament scholars discussing the latest in Psalms scholarship and applying exegetical insights to the life of faith.

The book is divided into five sections that:

2. Discuss psalms of praise
3. Explore psalms of lament
4. Look at the big picture of the Psalter as a book
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.
