Meditating on the Psalms offers spiritual insights into 52 of the
bestloved Psalms with an original translation and a devotional
commentary. The discussion of each Psalm ends with a related
Christian prayer, either from the tradition or written by the
author, John Eaton, himself. There is also an introduction that
explains the background to the Psalms -- who wrote them and why --
and their importance throughout the ages. No one is more qualified
to write on the Psalms than John Eaton. He is a distinguished
scholar, now retired, and has spent a lifetime studying the Psalms.
His pastoral work and his concern for the environment and ecology
give him great sympathy for the wide-ranging material found in the
Psalms. The Psalms are widely regarded as some of the greatest
poetry ever written. Meditating on the Psalms makes them accessible
to readers of all ages and all denominations and will be widely
welcomed as a useful aid to prayer.

John Eaton, well known for his Psalms commentary, here offers a new
model of commentary-writing. The psalms treated are those exalting
God's Torah (Psalms 1, 19, 119) and those proclaiming his kingship
(93, 97, 99). A detailed examination is made of the treatment of
these psalms by selected exegetes from Delitzsch to the present.
General conclusions are then drawn for such questions as dating,
text, unity, meaning, piety, theology, and relation to prophecy.
Both groups of psalms are found to contain great riches of
religious insight and experience, which exegetes have rarely come
within range of appreciating. Several important interpreters are
only superficially known outside their own language group; the
present study seeks to remedy this.>

Concise yet comprehensive, manageable and affordable, T&T Clark
Study Guides are an invaluable resource for students, preachers and
Bible study leaders. Each book in the series gives the reader a
thorough introduction to a particular book of the Bible or the
Apocrypha and includes: - An introduction to the contents of the
particular biblical book - A balanced survey of the important
critical issues - Attention to literary, historical, sociological,
and theological perspectives - Suggestions about critical
appropriation of the text by the contemporary reader - Reference to
other standard works through annotated bibliographies. All the
books in the series, formerly published by Sheffield Academic
Press, are by leading biblical scholars and the authors have drawn
on their scholarly expertise as well as their experience as
teachers of university and college students.
Remarkably enough, there is a scarcity of modern commentaries on
the Psalms for the more general reader, though after the Gospels,
they are probably the most widely read part of the Bible. Clergy
read the Psalms in rotation as part of the daily offices, the
Psalms are a regular part of the church's worship, and the "Book of
Psalms" is a spiritual classic in its own right. This commentary is
addressed to the widest possible readership and is informed by John
Eaton's pastoral concerns and his commitment to environmental
issues. He examines the authorship of the psalms and their use as
poetry and songs, as well as in worship. Eaton provides his own,
modern translation of each of the 150 Psalms and provides a
commentary highlighting the relevance of the psalms to the modern
reader. The inspirational discussion of each psalm ends with a
related Christian prayer, either from the tradition or written by
Eaton himself.
This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923. This book
may have occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages,
poor pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the
original artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We
believe this work is culturally important, and despite the
imperfections, have elected to bring it back into print as part of
our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works
worldwide. We appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in
the preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.

Remarkably enough, there is a scarcity of modern commentaries on
the Psalms for the more general reader, though after the Gospels,
they are probably the most widely-read part of the Bible. No one is
more qualified to write on the Psalms than John Eaton. He is a
distinguished Old Testament scholar and has spent a lifetime
studying the Psalms. This commentary is addressed to the wide
readership. There is a long and highly readable introduction giving
a background to the Psalms; then follow the 150 Psalms, each in
Eaton's translation. He explains the background to the Psalms and
their content in a way that makes them interesting and relevant to
the present. The discussion of each psalm ends with a related
Christian prayer, either from the tradition or written by Eaton
himself. John Eaton is recognized as one of the world's leading
experts on Psalms: this commentary is the culmination of his life's
work. John Eaton lectured in Old Testament at the University of
Birmingham until his retirement. He is the author of many books,
especially on aspects of the Psalms.
