This accessible introduction to the Psalms introduces readers to
some of the key issues arising from different approaches to the
biblical text. Alastair G. Hunter examines how current methods of
interpretation - historical/cultural, literary, liturgical and
theological - differ and complement each other. Hunter provides an
overview of contemporary scholarship (including the significance of
the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalms) and examines some of the key texts and
commentaries in use today. The book offers a way in to more
detailed and more advanced Psalms study, and includes particular
emphasis on literary and liturgical matters, which are often left
out of traditional commentaries. Hunter seeks to do two things: to
understand the psalms in themselves as deliberately arranged
poetical and liturgical compositions; and to explore their literary
and theological significance for contemporary readers. He considers
the increasing body of work relating to groups of psalms, and
reviews the results to date of that approach, which helps the
reader to see the psalms as a more coherent collection of texts,
and has implications for their exegesis and interpretation.
