Charting the Course of Psalms Research : Essays on the Psalms
100 p.
Erhard Gerstenberger (1932-2023) has been a highly influential exegete of the Psalms for several decades, He demonstrated how the Psalms were able to modulate the deepest feelings of individuals and communities, encompassing a wide variety of existential experiences relating to God and the world, Gerstenberger believed that psalmic poetry grew out of diverse and real-life situations, The first two essays in Charting the Course of Psalms Research deftly review the secondary literature, The first covers the 'lyrical literature' of the Old Testament, and the second considers the history of interpretation of the Psalms, The remaining essays explore the social settings of the Psalms and their connection to theology and communication theory, and include two chapter translated into English for the first time and edited by K,C, Hanson, Student and researcher alike will be enriched by the insights Gerstenberger provides.
