Psalms, with an Introduction to Cultic Poetry, is Volume XIV of The
Forms of the Old Testament Literature, a series that aims to
present a form-critical analysis of every book and each unit in the
Hebrew Bible. Fundamentally exegetical, the FOTL volumes examine
the structure, genre, setting, and intention of the biblical
literature in question. They also study the history behind the
form-critical discussion of the material, attempt to bring
consistency to the terminology for the genres and formulas of the
biblical literature, and expose the exegetical process so as to
enable students and pastors to engage in their own analysis and
interpretation of the Old Testament texts. Erhard Gerstenberger
begins this volume with an examination of the nature of cultic
poetry, its role in ancient Near Eastern religion, and more
specifically its role in the religion of Israel. He goes on to
survey the genres of cultic poetry, including lament, complaint,
and thanksgiving. He then focuses on the book of Psalms as an
example of cultic poetry, first analyzing the book as a whole and
then working through Psalms 1-60 unit by unit, discussing
structure, genre, setting, and intention. The work is enhanced by
extensive bibliographies and a glossary of genres and formulas that
offers clear, thorough definitions with examples.
