Author: Mark Vincent, paper back 432 pages. Published in 2001 by The Christadelphian (CMPA).

This is not a commentary in the orthodox sense but was written to help understand the book of Psalms in an overall way. The reader is encouraged to look at the timelessness of its poetic language, to see the ways in which Israel sang the Psalms as part of its national worship and to consider the patterns of the book.

The seven sections of the book have the following headings:

* Getting to grips with Bible Poetry

* Grouping the Psalms into categories

* The organisation of the Psalter: Random collection or Divine Design?

* A look at the Imprecatory Psalms

* The Psalter in Israel's Religious Life

* The Titles of the Psalms: Mastering the Technical Terms

* Looking for Jesus Christ: Prophecies of the Messiah

In addition to the seven sections there are 10 very valuable appendicies and a Scripture Index with topics.

 

A hard copy version is available from The Christadelphian office.
