When thinking about psalms and prayers in the Second Temple period,
the Masoretic Psalter and its reception is often given priority
because of modern academic or theological interests. This emphasis
tends to skew our understanding of the corpus we call psalms and
prayers and often dampens or mutes the lived context within which
these texts were composed and used. This volume is comprised of a
collection of articles that explore the diverse settings in which
psalms and prayers were used and circulated in the late Second
Temple period. The book includes essays by experts in the Hebrew
bible, the Dead Sea scrolls, Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, and the
New Testament, in which a wide variety of topics, approaches, and
methods both old and new are utilized to explore the many functions
of psalms and prayers in the late Second Temple period. Included in
this volume are essays examining how psalms were read as prophecy,
as history, as liturgy, and as literature. A variety methodologies
are employed, and include the use of cognitive sciences and
poetics, linguistic theory, psychology, redaction criticism, and
literary theory.
