Psalms: Psalms 90-150 (Baker Commentary on the Old Testament Wisdom and Psalms)
"This is in many respects the ideal commentary for students aiming for service within the church and for their teachers: it is a solid academic commentary that explores the theological message of the Psalter from a Christian viewpoint."--L.-S. Tiemeyer,Society for Old Testament Study Book List"[Goldingay] is distinguished for his contributions to Old Testament hermeneutics and theology. . . . For each psalm Goldingay offers a fresh translation with footnotes detailing matters of morphology, syntax, and textual criticism. . . . A carefully selected sample of bibliographic suggestions, again set within footnotes, leads the reader to more technical discussion. . . . This commentary is marked by mature exegetical and spiritual reflection, carefully balanced for the needs of pastors."--John W. Hilber,Bibliotheca Sacra"This critical commentary will be appreciated by scholars and serious Bible students."--Dianne Bergant, CSA,Bible Today"One of our premier interpreters, John Goldingay, offers here a comprehensive treatment of the Psalms. Rarely does one find such a combination of close attention to grammatical and syntactical features joined with literary sensitivity, and all of it aimed at theological appropriation of the Psalms. Don't be surprised to find Anne Lamott alongside Luther, Calvin, Aquinas, and Isaac Watts. A basic resource for studying the Psalms."--Patrick D. Miller, professor of Old Testament theology emeritus, Princeton Theological Seminary"John Goldingay has come to this commentary after extensive work in other areas of biblical study. He has written a major commentary that incorporates solid, mainline scholarship, and it belongs with leading commentaries on the Psalter. His readers will find him to be a competent, mature, and careful guide in interpreting the Psalms. I recommend his work."--Marvin E. Tate, senior professor of Old Testament, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary"A fine commentary that combines excellent scholarship and deep, practical spiritual reflection. Readers will find it to be an invaluable resource for their own life journeys, not least in the constructive challenge it presents to some modern Christian understandings of biblical spirituality."--Iain Provan, Marshall Sheppard Professor of Biblical Studies, Regent College
