Westminster John Knox Press is pleased to present the seventeen-volume Old Testament for Everyone series. Internationally respected Old Testament scholar John Goldingay addresses Scripture from Genesis to Malachi in such a way that even the most challenging passages are explained simply and concisely. The series is perfect for daily devotions, group study, or personal visits with the Bible. In this volume, Goldingay explores Psalms 73-15. The psalms, Goldingay says, show us four ways to speak to God: in words of praise, thanksgiving, trust, and supplication. Goldingay provides brief commentary on each psalm and shows how each one can be relevant to contemporary life. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

As is consistent with the series, each section (most often each individual psalm, although a few psalms are broken up into multiple sections) is begun with the author's translation, followed by some story or modern example, and then the text is interpreted first in light of its most likely original context and then some suggested applications are made.
Goldingay has otherwise written a massive commentary on Psalms in a scholarly way focusing on the literary-analytical method; he does not approach the For Everyone commentary in the same way. He does well at getting to what is most likely the essential nature/purpose of each psalm and makes appropriate applications. His personal experience of grief and renewal means Goldingay is quite sensitive to the reversals experienced or given voice by the Psalter and addresses them well.
A good introduction to the basic meaning and value of Psalms 1-72.
