This is the first of a two-volume bible commentary covering the Psalms and examining the role of these biblical poems throughout Jewish and Christian history.

  • Examines the psalms through liturgy and prayer, study and preaching, translation and imitation, and musical composition and artistic illustration
  • Includes illustrations of significant psalms, helpful maps, and an extensive bibliography; an expanded bibliography to accompany the book is also available at www.wiley.com/go/gillingham
  • A forthcoming second volume is planned, which will take an alternative psalm-by-psalm approach
  • Now available in paperback, and published in the innovative reception-history series, Blackwell Bible Commentaries

Reviews

"Dr Gillingham has already published widely on the Psalms, and we look forward to her second volume." (Journal of Theological Studies, 1 October 2013)

"A most impressive piece of work ...The coverage is truly encyclopaedic in scope and nothing seems to have escaped Gillingham's attention."

-Journal for the Study of the Old Testament

"Gillingham meticulously masters the diverse reception history of the psalms ... Every page is bursting with solid research and influential insight. An invaluable addition to the field."
-Religious Studies Review

"This wonderful book whets the appetite both for its second volume, and for more volumes of this valuable series ... [A] highly innovative and promising project."
-International Review of Biblical Studies

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
