This collection of essays advances psalms studies through a
concerted focus on the persuasive aim of psalmic poetry, and it
offers unique perspectives on rhetorical devices within the psalms.
These essays include discussions not only of structure, literary
devices, and rhetorical strategies, but the authors also dialogue
with classical rhetoric, modern psalms research, and current trends
in rhetoric and cognitive science. Part One discusses various
theoretical issues. Several articles discuss lament within the
psalms, including the function of appeals to pathos, lament's
compensation for monotheistic piety, and the need for more
attention to the laments' poetry and rhetoric to understand their
meaning. Other essays address the psalmists' self-presentation, the
ideological identity of the wicked within the psalms, faunal
imagery with regard to tenor and vehicle, the topoi related to God
in call to praise psalms, the function of gaps in prayers for help,
and the rhetoric of kingship psalms as attempts to persuade readers
of the legitimacy and efficacy of kingship. Part Two consists of
rhetorical analyses of several psalms or psalm pairs, each with
distinctive emphases. These include a discussion of Psalm 8 from a
bodily perspective, the nature and implication of nature language
within Psalm 23, the structure of Psalm 102 within Book IV of the
Psalter along with its theology and lament, the forensic case of
Psalms 105 and 106 emphasizing the role of narrative in forensic
rhetoric and comparing the results with classical rhetoric, and an
analysis of the rhetorical aim of Psalm 147, subjected to
developments within cognitive science.
