About this title

Synopsis

Literature provides a guide to the ancient background, the literary artistry, and the varied and timeless messages of the Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes and Song of Songs. This informed, illuminating and interactive resource offers students

In this textbook you will find double-column formatting for ease of use, annotated bibliographies for further reading, sidebar explorations of select historical and textual topics in greater detail, a glossary of terms, and relevant charts and maps.

"I have found the range of topics treated by Lucas enormously impressive. From all the usual introductory topics through to detailed guidelines for interpretation, students will find here admirable summaries of the main scholarly views together with sensible comments to help evaluate them. I know of no other textbook on the Psalms and Writings that will serve its intended readership so helpfully."
