Psalms 73-150 (Collegeville Bible Commentary)

by Richard J. Clifford, Dianne Bergant (Editor)

Overview

The Liturgical Press Old Testament Commentaries provide compact, critical commentaries on the books of the Old Testament for the use of theological students and pastors. The commentaries are also useful for upper-level college or university students and for those responsible for teaching in congregational settings. In addition to providing basic information and insights into the Old Testament writings, these commentaries exemplify the tasks and procedures of careful interpretation, to assist students of the Old Testament in coming to an informed and critical engagement with the biblical texts themselves. This second volume completes Richard Clifford's commentary on the psalms. The rich imagery of the psalms has guided and molded pray-ers since ancient times. As we seek to understand the threads and colors of the psalms, Clifford helps us see their inner dramatic logic, how they organize the experience and desires of the pray-er, and how they seek to move us. His primary concern is to help readers see the pattern and progression within the psalms, while attending to their complex, evocative nature.
