Publisher's Description
Over the past year, we have seen that the fear of death caused by the pandemic has stopped the world. In this book, each contributor not only tries to narrow the gap between the book of Psalms and the contemporary reader but also encourages us to endure and enjoy our lives in our life settings in this "strange land." The authors recognize our weaknesses and remind us about the saving power of Jesus's death for us. They try to make the "difficulties and impediments," as one contributor says, "constitutive of the saving power of Jesus Christ" that transforms our hearts.

“These twelve sermons from experts in theology, church history, Old and New Testaments, worship, and pastoral care direct our attention back to the Psalms as a source of counsel, encouragement, and hope for our Christian lives, especially during the disruptive intrusion of COVID-19 into the fabric of our faith communities. Anyone looking for informed and pastoral perspectives to navigate the challenges to faith such disruptions bring will surely benefit from these insightful reflections.”
“What do you get when a seminary faculty work together to produce a volume on the Psalms? A rich treasure trove of meditations that stir the heart and stimulate the mind. The meditations in this volume bring together the best of theological scholarship with a deep and abiding faith in the God who is ever present and in whom our salvation rests. What a gift for the people of God!”
