The Psalms rank among the most important books of the Old
Testament, yet to many the 150 songs, prayers and poems remain
obscure and inaccessible. This book offers a nwe general
introduction to the Psalms. Professor Seybold guides the reader
through the most important aspects of the history and form of the
Psalm texts and the major questions of critical scholarship, and
discusses leading writers on the subject. A wide range of specific
topics is covered: historical background, literary form,
classification, and parallels in other soruce of ancient
literature. The section on Library Form provides a useful
introduction to the speech patterns of Hebrew verse, written in
such a way that students without Hebrew may also benefit. The final
chapters deal with the way the Psalms have been interpreted and
used in worship over the last 2000 years. This is a book to help
the student find his or her bearings and to suggest directions for
further study. It will be an invaluable textbook for all students
of Old Testament and Biblical Studies, as well as literature
generally, and of great interest to all those who approach the
Psalms for the first time. Klaus Seybold is Professor of Old
Testament Studies at the University of Basel. R. Graeme Dunphy is a
Minister of the Church of Scotland in Culloden.
