Psalms in an Age of Distraction

Christian Living

“Books on the Psalms tend to come in several flavors. Among these are academic studies focused on form, with little to no religious emphasis, and devotional books highlighting the spiritual but ignoring the literary. Jones’s book admirably fills the gap by drawing attention to the psalms’ poetic features in the service of deepening our understanding and appreciation of the beauty of the Bible’s best-known poetic book. With chapters dedicated to individual psalms and their use of various poetic features, Jones unpacks the richness of the psalms rooted in their original language and form.”
