Description and Table of Contents
Description
Despite the beauty and profundity of the psalms, the full meaning and power of these Old Testament prayers can only be grasped through the life and work of Christ. In this volume Stanley Jaki allows the psalms to speak afresh by enlarging on their original thrust with timely comments that bring out their timeless quality.After an insightful overview of the psalms generally, including reflections on their use as both Jewish and Christian prayers, Jaki provides commentary on each individual psalm. Jaki avoids exegetical minutiae, providing instead precisely enough commentary on the original cultural and theological setting of each psalm to let its full meaning emerge. Readers will find here helpful pointers for turning the recitation of the psalms into living prayers relevant to today's troubled world.
