Description
The title “Invitation to the Psalms: A Reader's Guide for Discovery and Engagement" is a very accurate description in my perspective. The authors have created a very useful and succinct manual to help the reader of God's Word better understand the Hebrew poetry and literature of the book of Psalms. I like the way the author used an occasional modern song and different excerpts to add humor and make the book more engaging. The reader should gain an enlightened ability to read and interpret the Biblical book of Psalms. ~Judy
Publisher's Description of Invitation to the Psalms
The Book of Psalms is perhaps the most cherished book in the Old Testament. In this lively volume, two experienced teachers invite students to read and explore the Psalter and roam widely among its poems. The book introduces the dynamics of the biblical text, helping students become careful and attentive readers. It covers how to read Hebrew poetry, the Psalter's basic genres, the idea of "the psalmist," the metaphorical world of the Psalms, and the theology of the Psalms. Sidebars, discussion questions, and plenty of examples enhance the reading experience. This clear and concise guide is accessible to all serious students of the Bible.
