Psalms in an Age of Distraction

Christian Living

“Psalms in an Age of Distraction is a faith-infused and timely encounter with the Psalms, filled with wisdom for embracing a Scripture-shaped life in the present cultural moment. Fueled by insightful research into distraction, boredom, and attention, Jones’s book compellingly presents the poetics of the Psalms as positively soul shaping. Jones illustrates poetry’s formational potential before leading the reader through selected psalms, exploring their specific poetic conventions with scholarly insight and making relevant connections for living faithfully in our time.”
