Charting the Course of Psalms Research

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Erhard Gerstenberger’s lifelong pursuit to understand the rich theological traditions of ancient Israel’s religious poetry can be grasped on each page of this collection of essays. With the help of Hanson’s elegant translation, he takes his English-speaking readers on a tour de force of intimate prayers, ritual settings, and varied theologies of the Psalter, uncovering hidden treasures, social contexts, and expressions of faith of texts that still impact us today.”

Comparative Perspectives on the Psalms

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“The final volume of Erhard Gerstenberger’s essays on the Psalms in English is a powerful call for the comparative enterprise and an impressive expression of the importance of paying attention to traditions of ritual and music. From the dynamics of praise in the ancient Near East to Navajo chants, the volume attests to the vitality of the Psalms and religious poetry in the ancient and modern world.”

The Law and the Prophets

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“'This is a fine study on the intriguing question of the biblical canon. Chapman offers an alternative model of the origin of Law and prophets [...] The book contains a lot of food for thought; maybe the interpretative model of a 'theological grammar' will allow us to view the plurality of biblical texts in a different light. No serious future study can afford to overlook Chapman's insights.'”
