Description

This is the first of a two-volume commentary covering the Psalms. It provides a fascinating introduction to the literary, historical, and theological background of psalmody, examining the role of these biblical poems throughout Jewish and Christian history. Gillingham explores the psalms through liturgy and prayer, study and preaching, translation and imitation, and musical composition and artistic illustration. Included are illustrations of significant psalms, helpful maps, and an extensive bibliography; an expanded bibliography to accompany the book is also available at www.wiley.com/go/gillingham. A forthcoming second volume will provide readers with a psalm-by-psalm commentary using the now established reception history approach. Taken together, these books constitute the most comprehensive resource available on the topic. For further information about this innovative reception-history series, visit the Blackwell Bible Commentaries website at www.bbibcomm.net.
