Description
Originally published as part of the excellent 'Bible Speaks Today' series, John Goldingay applies his academic mind and spiritual heart to asking what Psalms 42-51 have to say to us today.
Most of Scripture tells us about God. The Psalms tell us about us – our feelings of rage, of pain, of gratitude, of praise. They express our human concerns and our requests for help. And they teach us how to talk to God. In this book John Goldingay presents a fresh translation of each ten psalm, explaining their meaning and background, and points out how its wisdom applies to contemporary life. The ten psalms deal with our response to God as our Helper, Comforter, King and redeemer.
