Synopsis: Although the book of Psalms is a collection of ancient
hymns and poems originally written in Hebrew, it continues to be a
source of fascination and inspiration. The psalms live on because
they reflect a profound belief in a God who was involved with
people and with human affairs-a God who had done wonderful things
in the past, for which he should be praised and held in awe; a God
to whom complaints could be addressed because of apparent
inactivity on behalf of those loyal to him in the present; a God
who, despite the distresses and difficulties of those who called
upon him, could be trusted to ensure justice in the future. The
Psalter contains some very human responses to a God who was
sometimes very real to those who addressed him and who sometimes
seemed deaf to their cries. Adrian Curtis invites his readers to
enter into the world of the Psalms and to find there, sometimes
surprisingly, experiences and emotions that resonate with their
own. Author Biography: Adrian Curtis is Honorary Research Fellow in
the Department for Religions and Theology at the University of
Manchester.
