The Psalms have resulted in controversies between Jews and
Christians over the centuries and it is only from the mid twentieth
century onwards that the two traditions have worked side by side in
the academy at least. This is one of the very few volumes on the
psalms to incorporate scholarship from both these traditions for
nearly a century, and the result is a rich celebration of these
extraordinary ancient songs.
This innovative essay collection draws together internationally
renowned Jewish and Christian scholars of the Psalms, with one
tradition responding to the other, in areas as diverse as Qumran
studies, Medieval Jewish interpretation, Reception History,
Liturgical Psalters and Chagall's Church Windows and more recent
Literary Studies of the Psalter as a Book. The range of topics
chosen will be of interest not only to those specializing in the
Psalms but also to others interested more generally in biblical
studies. Several musical and artistic representations of selected
psalms are also included and the book includes a colour plate
section which illustrates several of the chapters.
