This book contributes to the theory and practice of Biblical
interpretation by engaging in an interpretation of Psalm 24
inspired by a particular understanding of Brevard Childs'
"canonical approach": an understanding centred on the concept of
"theological substance." Sumpter shows how the literary,
historical, and theological dimensions of Psalm 24 cohere into a
single vision by reading the text according to the previously
discussed dialectic. An initial "synchronic" analysis of the
psalm's poetic structure related to a "diachronic" reconstruction
of the tradition history that lead to the final form. The question
is then posed concerning the primary forces at work in this history
of composition, a question which leads to reflection on the
Trinity, first in se and then pro nobis. This latter dimension
takes us back to the text, as its "Davidic" nature is further
analysed in relation to the books of Samuel, the Psalter, and
Isaiah. Finally, Patristic exegesis is turned to for further
stimulation concerning the mysterious subject matter of the text.
