The aggressive tone of the psalms that deal with violence is
often viewed as in direct opposition to Jesus' command to love
one's neighbor. Erich Zenger, a preeminent international scholar,
offers to Christians a new understanding of these powerful, albeit
disquieting, psalms. To Zenger, these psalms are laments that cry
out against violence and injustice in the world and have great
relevance to people of faith today. Readers will appreciate
Zenger's forthright discussion of how to use these psalms in modern
prayer.
In this "meticulous" commentary, "brilliantly" translated by Linda
M. Maloney (Review of Biblical Literature), Hossfeld and Zenger
provide for each psalm a relevant bibliography of scholarship, a
fresh translation, text-critical and philological details, and
commentary on historical context, theological significance,
literary structure, and reception (in Septuagint, Targums, and New
Testament), engaging a wide range of scholarship as they proceed.
