Hassell Bullock has studied, taught, and written successful texts
on the Psalms for forty years. In this book, he walks through how
the Psalms convey the grand story of creation and redemption,
Scripture's two theological ends, and the underlying story of God
and humanity in relationship. Bullock explains how the literal and
metaphorical language in the Psalms work together to articulate the
message and deepen our understanding. He presents interpretive
principles gleaned from the psalmists themselves and shows how
these writers make intertextual connections to other Scriptures,
sometimes quoting but mostly alluding, which can help us make
corresponding connections between Old and New Testament teachings.
The Psalms are examples of applying wisdom and Scriptures to
personal and national issues and of how God interacts and
intervenes in real-life situations, which help us apply the Bible
today. Bullock's mature reflections and guidance on understanding
and applying the Psalms' theological message will complement any
traditional introduction to the Psalms.
Though the Psalms are perhaps the most familiar portion of the
Hebrew Bible, they are also among the most difficult to interpret.

The Teach the Text Commentary Series utilizes the best of biblical
scholarship to provide the information a pastor needs to
communicate the text effectively. The carefully selected preaching
units and focused commentary allow pastors to quickly grasp the big
idea and key themes of each passage of Scripture. Each unit of the
commentary includes the big idea and key themes of the passage and
sections dedicated to understanding, teaching, and illustrating the
text.
The Old Testament prophets spoke to Israel in times of
historical and moral crisis. They saw themselves as being a part of
a story that God was weaving throughout history--a story of
repentance, encouragement, and a coming Messiah. In this updated
introductory book, each major and minor prophet and his writing are
clustered with the major historical events of their time.
Our generational distance from the age of the prophets might
seem to be a measureless chasm. Yet we dare not make the mistake of
assuming that passing years have rendered irrelevant not only the
Old Testament prophets, but also the God who comprehends, spans,
and transcends all time. In these pages, C. Hassell Bullock
presents a clear picture of some of history's most profound
spokesmen--the Old Testament prophets--and the God who shaped
them.
