Believing that repetitive use of poetry, especially when set in
musical form, makes a profound and enduring impression on the
intellectual development of the mind, the author uses a series of
sermons to explore how the Psalter helped a young, maturing Jesus
understand God whom He usually called Father. The instructions,
prayers, and praises from the Psalms describing the relationship
between God and daily life as Israel's poet experienced it are just
as formative for the twenty-first century as they were more than
2500 years ago. When read with gentle care, the Psalms nourish the
mature saint or the most skeptical critic as they have every
generation since King David. Across these many centuries the words
have remained constant, but the applications change regularly, just
as each generation composes new tunes and a slightly adapted poetic
form. With a sense of scholarship, history, tradition, and current
events, this book looks at a few of the 150 Psalms that comprised
what some have called Israel's hymnbook. What did Jesus learn about
God as He heard and perhaps sung their words? Would we benefit from
learning these same lessons? the opinion of the author that the
ancient poets of Israel, if they were alive today, would embrace
both our traditional and contemporary styles of worship. There
would be no reason for either one to reject the other. There is
only one God. Our praise and worship is dependent on attitude,
motivation, integrity, and sincerity rather than instruments,
rhythm, volume, and tune.
