Reflections on the Psalms

Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

"I write," the author says, "as one amateur to another, talking about the difficulties I have met, or lights I have gained, with the hope that this might at any rate interest, and sometimes even help, other inexpert readers." He relates the Psalms to their tripel background: to the ancient Judaic religion which produced them, to the age of Christ when they took on new meanings, and to our daily experience in the modern world.
