Description
About the Author
Sue Gillingham has lived and worked in Oxford for over thirty years. She is Fellow and Tutor in Theology at Worcester College, and Reader in Old Testament in the University of Oxford. She is a Licensed Lay Minister attached to Worcester Chapel and St Barnabas Church, Jericho. She has written several books on using and interpreting the Psalms and is particularly interested in reception history and psalmody, although she has written more widely on, for example, literary and theological analyses of the Psalter as a whole, surveys of psalmic studies over the last century, and historically-orientated papers, especially the importance of Jerusalem and its Temple Liturgy and the role of Levitical singers in the formation of the Psalter.
Reviews
Gillingham's book is a treasure trove for any exegete and scholar who is interested in these two psalms and who works with them * Frank Lothar Hossfield, The Expository Times *
Certainly, this magisterial work, with its wealth of learning, provides a challenge to those who would question the validity of this new discipline. * Canon Anthony Phillips, Church Times *
This volume is certainly an enjoyable must-read for anyone working on the Psalms or their reception, the history of Jewish-Christian relations through examination of biblical exegesis, or interested in approaches to reception history of the biblical texts more broadly. * Helen Spurling, Journal of Jewish Studies *
Immensely readable, beautifully presented, and thoroughly researched, it is a joy to read and combines detailed insights with broad relevance. It will provide the reader with both specific input into these two texts as well as an impressive overview of Psalms studies through the centuries. . . . This book deserves to delight a broad readership and to inform a considerable range of scholarship, biblical and beyond. * Megan Daffern, Journal of Theological Studies (2014) *
