Synopsis
How fitting that they are found at the heart of Scripture---those poetic and prayerful expressions of an ancient people. Murphy discusses the various types of psalms, their literary features and theological concepts; and provides concise comments and historical insight on each one. An ideal starting point for in-depth study, whether individual or group. 150 pages, softcover from Hendrickson.

Review
"In its favor, the book is easily read and accessible to students of the Psalms in all walks of life. A love of the Psalms that seems to encourage others to take time with these texts comes through Murphy's writing. "The Gift of the Psalms" would be a useful addition to a church library and a good text to use in studying the Psalms in a congregational setting. For the pastor and students engaging in regular study of the Psalms and sermon preparation, this would be a good supplemental text. In general, Murphy's book is a good read for those who are making a beginning journey or a return trip to the world of the Psalms."
--"Lexington Theological Quarterly"
