Perhaps more clearly than any other part of the biblical canon, the
Psalms are human words directed to God. Yet, through the Holy
Spirit, these honest, sometimes brutal words return to us as the
Word of God. Their agonies and exaltations reflect more than the
human condition in which they were created. Within the context of
the canonical Psalter, they become the source of divine guidance,
challenge, confrontation, and comfort. However, it is possible to
misapply them. How can we use the Psalms in a way that faithfully
connects God s meaning in them and his intentions for them with our
circumstances today? Drawing on over twenty years of study in the
book of Psalms, Dr. Gerald H. Wilson reveals the links between the
Bible and our present times. While he considers each psalm in
itself, Wilson goes much further, examining whole groups of psalms
and, ultimately, the entire Psalter, its purpose, and its use from
the days of Hebrew temple worship onward through church history. In
so doing, Wilson opens our eyes to ageless truths for our
twenty-first-century lives. Most Bible commentaries take us on a
one-way trip from our world to the world of the Bible. But they
leave us there, assuming that we can somehow make the return
journey on our own. They focus on the original meaning of the
passage but don t discuss its contemporary application. The
information they offer is valuable---but the job is only half done
The NIV Application Commentary Series helps bring both halves of
the interpretive task together. This unique, award-winning series
shows readers how to bring an ancient message into our postmodern
context. It explains not only what the Bible meant but also how it
speaks powerfully today."
