Description: Psalm 29, a sacred text in Jewish and Christian
Bibles, has been understood in a variety of ways through time and
in different traditions. This volume presents a sample of the use
and meaning derived from a single biblical text. From the earliest
translations to contemporary African Independent Churches, this
psalm has been an integral part of synagogue and church; but what
it has meant and how it is used is a fascinating journey through
human culture. Not only the understanding of the written word, but
also the liturgical use and the musical adaptations of a biblical
text are considered here. This is a book for anyone--scholar,
student, or laity--with an interest in the Bible in its many
contexts. Endorsements: ""This book provides a fascinating sample
of the insights to be gained through the application of reception
history to a specific biblical text . . . The span of the articles
is encompassing, treating interpretation of Psalm 29 by early and
medieval rabbis, the church fathers and medieval Christianity,
Syrian Christianity, Luther, Calvin, and indigenous churches in
Nigeria . . . Overall, this is an impressive and engaging
collection of essays, well-rounded and informative to both scholars
and lay readers."" --Alan J. Hauser, Appalachian State University
""If you think you know all there is to know about Psalm 29, read
this book If you think that the true meaning of this or any other
piece of Scripture is finite, knowable only by experts
(ecclesiastical or otherwise), and eternal--by all means read this
book The essays are focused, informative, interesting, useful, and
reader-friendly. Recommended for multiple readerships and settings,
from AP high school courses to Elder Hostel programs."" --W. Boyd
