This volume explores the ways in which Jerusalem is represented in
Psalms - from its position in the context of liturgical and pilgrim
songs to its role as metaphor. Jerusalem in the Book of Psalms is
the site of scenes of redemption, joy, and celebration of the
proximity to God and the house of the Lord. But it is also the
quintessential locus of loss, marked by cries over the devastating
destruction of the Temple. These two antithetical poles of
Jerusalem are expressed in both personal terms as well as within a
collective framework. The bulk of the articles are devoted to
questions of reception, to the ways in which the geographies of the
Book of Psalms have travelled across their native bounds and
entered other historical settings, acquiring new forms and
meanings.
