Written centuries before Christ, the Psalms of the Hebrew Bible
have been prayed by Christians since the founding of the Church.
The early church fathers expounded the psalms in the light of the
mystery of Christ, his death and resurrection, and his saving
redemption. In this book, a Benedictine monk examines the Christian
praying of the Psalms, taking into account modern and contemporary
research on the Psalms. Working from the Hebrew text, Fr. Laurence
Kriegshauser offers a verse-by-verse commentary on each of the one
hundred and fifty psalms, highlighting poetic features such as
imagery, rhythm, structure, and vocabulary, as well as theological
and spiritual dimensions and the relation of psalms to each other
in the smaller collections that make up the whole. The book
attempts to integrate modern scholarship on the Psalms with the act
of prayer and help Christians pray the psalms with greater
understanding of their Christological meaning. The book contains an
introduction, a glossary of terms, an index of topics, a table of
English renderings of selected Hebrew words, and an index of
biblical citations. Praying the Psalms in Christ will be welcomed
by students of theology and liturgy, by priests, religious, and
laypeople who pray the Liturgy of the Hours, and by all Christians
who seek to pray the Psalms with greater profit and fervor.
