In this first volume of a three-volume commentary on the book of Psalms,
John Goldingay, a creative and respected Old Testament scholar,
considers literary, historical, and grammatical dimensions of the text
as well as theological implications. Goldingay writes with a scholar's
eye and a pastor's heart. The resulting commentary will bring the Psalms
to life for a new generation of pastors and students.
In addition to the commentary on Psalms 1-41, this volume contains
Goldingay's introduction to the entire book of Psalms. Also included is
an extensive glossary section treating the vocabulary of Psalms 1-41,
which notes how certain words are used to convey critical concepts. This
is the third volume in the Baker Commentary on the Old Testament Wisdom
and Psalms series.
