The Oxford Handbook of the Psalms cover

Intended for both scholar and student, The Oxford Handbook of the Psalms features a diverse array of essays that treat the Psalms from a variety of perspectives. Classical scholarship and traditional approaches as well as contextual interpretations and practices are well represented. From ancient Near Eastern backgrounds and Hebrew poetry to Qumran studies and ancient translations to Asian and African-American approaches and liturgical usage, the Handbook's coverage is uniquely wide ranging. This handbook serves as a rich introduction into the increasingly complex field. This volume is an indispensable resource for all students of the Psalms.

This handbook, as described above, serves its purpose as a good first orientation for those who want to delve into the world of the Psalms and it is to be hoped that a less expensive paperback edition will be out soon. * Thomas J. Kraus, The Expository Times *
