The book of Psalms is a treasure. These one hundred and fifty
inspired poems have shaped the worship, prayers, and theology of God's
people for thousands of years. While many of its riches are readily
apparent, a deeper look into the nature and purposes of the book reveals
further layers of meaning with abundant implications for the Christian
life.
In Treasuring the Psalms, Ian J. Vaillancourt orients readers to the
Psalms and lays out a pattern for deeper study and application. From the
composition of individual psalms through the shaping of the entire book,
he argues, the Holy Spirit guided the creation of a work that is truly
greater than the sum of its parts. In particular, Vaillancourt shows how
the Psalms point to Christ and provide practical insights for the church
community and individual Christians.
Through these canonical, Christological, and practical emphases, readers
will gain new viewpoints into the flow, context, and message of the
Psalms, as well as gospel-centered applications for a living faith.
