DESCRIPTION:
/ Bruce K. Houston then exposits each text’s relevance in conjunction with the Church’s interpretation of it throughout her history. This commentary uniquely combines a verse-by-verse exposition of the Hebrew text of selected Psalms with a history of their interpretation in the Church from the time of the apostles to the present. Rather, they wished to aid in enriching the daily life of the contemporary Christian and to deepen the church’s community. Waltke begins the collaboration by first skillfully establishing the meaning of the chosen psalms through careful exegesis in which each text is interpreted in light of its historical backgrounds, its literary form, and the poet’s rhetoric. James M. / The authors’ purpose in creating this volume was not merely to produce a masterful commentary. To further the accuracy of this interpretation, he commissioned fresh translations of numerous Latin and Middle English texts. Waltke and Houston here bring together the two voices of the Holy Spirit heard infallibly in Scripture and edifyingly in the Church’s response in a rare and illuminating combination.

A CROWN JEWELThis is not just another commentary on the book of Psalms, it is the Crown Jewel of two of the world's finest scholars, representing over five decades of scholarship. James Houston has beautifully documented the historical tale of each psalm like no one else, and made accessible ancient material that has yet to be translated for the English reader. Bruce Waltke is unrivaled in the care and precision he gives to exegesis. There is no stone left unturned in the breadt. I cannot recommend this work highly enough Thomas L. Wenger II I cannot recommend this work highly enough!As a pastor I can confidently say that this book (along with its companion "The Psalms as Christian Lament") are the best comments on the psalms that I know of. For other pastors out there, I heartily recommend preaching series of selected psalms and choosing the ones included in these books because you will not find better insights anywhere else.I usually work with at least 10-12 different resources in sermon prep.
