A Commentary on the Psalms, Volume 1 (Kregel Exegetical Library)
The Book of Psalms has been the people of God's richest resource for expressing worship and developing the spiritual life. It is also one of the more complex and challenging sections of the Bible to expound responsibly and meaningfully. Pastors, teachers, and all serious students of the Bible will find this commentary invaluable for developing their understanding of the Psalms and for improving their ability to expound it with precision and depth.Allen P. Ross, Ph D, University of Cambridge, is professor of divinity at Beeson Divinity School. He is the author ofCreation and Blessing: A Guide to the Study and Exposition of GenesisandHoliness to the LORD: A Guide to the Exposition of the Book of Leviticus."Ross has given us the rich reflections of decades of research and teaching. But make no mistake. This is no sterile tome; it is a thorough, erudite exposition grounded in a deep faith for which students of the Psalms will be grateful for years to come."M. Daniel Carroll R., Distinguished Professor of Old Testament, Denver Seminary"Every generation or so a benchmark publication emerges that eclipses all works of the genre that have preceded it and sets the standard for all subsequent attempts.
