This commentary uniquely combines a verse-by-verse exposition of
the Hebrew text of selected Psalms with a history of their
interpretation in the Church from the time of the apostles to the
present. / Bruce K. Waltke begins the collaboration by first
skillfully establishing the meaning of the chosen psalms through
careful exegesis in which each text is interpreted in light of its
historical backgrounds, its literary form, and the poet's rhetoric.
James M. Houston then exposits each text's relevance in conjunction
with the Church's interpretation of it throughout her history. To
further the accuracy of this interpretation, he commissioned fresh
translations of numerous Latin and Middle English texts. / The
authors' purpose in creating this volume was not merely to produce
a masterful commentary. Rather, they wished to aid in enriching the
daily life of the contemporary Christian and to deepen the church's
community. Waltke and Houston here bring together the two voices of
the Holy Spirit -- heard infallibly in Scripture and edifyingly in
the Church's response -- in a rare and illuminating combination.
