Vast as the Sea

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In Vast as the Sea, Samuel Hildebrandt takes his readers on an insightful and accessible journey through biblical poetry to unveil the texts' expressions of often negatively associated aspects of the human condition. In carefully formulated prose, he shows how biblical texts such as Psalms, Job, Jeremiah, and Ecclesiastes provide a language for loneliness, worry, despair, and hope to their ancient readers as well as their contemporary counterparts. A timely book on a timeless topic.”
