Praying the Psalms: A Commentary
Jaki, a professor at Seton Hall University in New Jersey and a much-published author, has produced a highly accessible and rather nonacademic guide to the Psalms. Jaki's psalm-by-psalm comments should prove unthreatening and reasonably helpful to the general reader, but his remarks are personal and subjective. Jaki seems to accept certain tenets of critical scholarship, but some readers may find him distressingly conservative; he has rather tart things to say against Kant and atheism and philosophy, but his straightforwardness is appealing and should provide a point of entry to these important texts for many readers.
