Description

The Psalms are widely regarded as among the greatest poetry ever written and, after the Gospels, they are probably the most commonly read part of the Bible. They are a regular part of the Church's worship and are a source of comfort and inspiration to Christians throughout the world. Here, John Eaton gives a fascinating introduction to the Psalms as a whole, examining their contextual background, their theology, and their importance down the ages. He also provides a new translation and a commentary on each of the 150 psalms. The discussion on each psalm ends with a prayer drawn from Eaton's understanding of the psalm. - Back cover.
