How to Read the Psalms
Author: Tremper Longman IIIPublisher: InterVarsity Press
ISBN: 9780830875627
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
The Psalms possess an enduring fascination for us. For frankness, directness, intensity and intimacy, they are unrivaled in all of Scripture. Somehow the psalmists seem to have anticipated all our awe, desires and frustrations. No wonder Christians have used the Psalms in worship from the earliest times to the present. Yet the Psalms cause us difficulties when we look at them closely. Their poetry is unfamiliar in form. Many images they use are foreign to us today. And the psalmists sometimes express thoughts that seem unworthy of Scripture. Tremper Longman gives us the kind of help we need to overcome the distance between the psalmists' world and ours. He explains the various kinds of psalms, the way they were used in Hebrew worship and their relationship to the rest of the Old Testament. Then he looks at how Christians can appropriate their message and insights today. Turning to the art of Old Testament poetry, he explains the use of parallelism and imagery. Step-by-step suggestions for interpretating the psalms on our own are followed by exercises for further study and reflection. Also included is a helpful guide to commentaries on the Psalms. Here is a book for all those who long to better understand these mirrors of the soul.
A Theological Introduction to the Book of Psalms
Author: Prof. J. Clinton McCann JR.Publisher: Abingdon Press
ISBN: 1426750072
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
Taking his point of departure from the newest frontier of research, McCann reads the psalms in the context of their final shape and canonical form. He interprets the psalms as scripture as well as in their character as songs, prayers, and poetry from Israel's history. McCann's intent is to contribute to the church's recovery of the psalms as torah--as instruction, as a guide to prayer, praise of God, and pious living. The explicit connections which McCann draws from the psalms to the New Testament and to Christian faith and life are extensive, making his work suitable for serious study of the psalms in academic and in church settings. An appendix examines the tradition of singing the psalms and offers suggestions for the use of the psalms in worship.

Book Description
Countless individuals all over the world are chanting the "Psalms of David" every hour of every day, which makes the "Book of Psalms" the most practically applied text in the Hebrew Bible.

They offer ready-made prayers, supplications, and incantations for all to express what is in their hearts and minds. Furthermore, considered to be Divinely inspired, the Psalms comprise a direct link between a 'human mouth' and a 'Divine Ear'! The material addressed in "The Book of Magical Psalms - Part 1" derives from the extensive primary literature of "Practical Kabbalah," much of which is shared in this tome for the first time in English translation. This definitive study includes the magical use of the biblical "Book of Psalms" for every conceivable purpose in prayers, incantations, adjurations, and Hebrew amulets.
