BOOK OF PSALMS

This work by Nancy L. deClaisse-Walford, Rolf Jacobson, and Beth Tanner is the most complete and detailed one-volume commentary available on the Psalms. Significantly, the volume reflects the combined insights of three superior (younger) biblical scholars.

DeClaisse-Walford, Jacobson, and Tanner offer a succinct introduction to the Psalter, a new translation of all the psalms that takes special account of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and individual entries on each psalm unit. Throughout the book they draw on state-of-the-art research on the canonical shape and shaping of the Psalter and evidence a nuanced attention to the poetic nature of the psalms.

Nancy L. deClaiss?-Walford is Carolyn Ward Professor of OldTestament and Biblical Languages at McAfee School ofTheology, Atlanta, Georgia.

Rolf A. Jacobson is associate professor of Old Testament at Luther Seminary, Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Beth LaNeel Tanner is the Kansfield Professor of Old Testament Studies at New Brunswick Theological Seminary, New Jersey.
