The Psalms: A Historical and Spiritual Commentary With an Introduction and New Translation

UNKNO

John Eaton, well known for his Psalms commentary, here offers a new model of commentary-writing. The psalms treated are those exalting God's Torah (Psalms 1, 19, 119) and those proclaiming his kingship (93, 97, 99). A detailed examination is made of the treatment of these psalms by selected exegetes from Delitzsch to the present. General conclusions are then drawn for such questions as dating, text, unity, meaning, piety, theology, and relation to prophecy. Both groups of psalms are found to contain great riches of religious insight and experience, which exegetes have rarely come within range of appreciating. Several important interpreters are only superficially known outside their own language group; the present study seeks to remedy this.

To the contemporary mind, the Old Testament books of the prophets often seem obscure, sometimes even harsh or lurid. But this new book by John Eaton sets out to see the Hebrew prophets with fresh wonder. Rather than giving a one-dimensional, historical study of these inspiring figures, Eaton presents each of the Hebrew prophets in relation to his own liturgical tradition, to the religious intermediaries of other peoples, and to the great poets of all times.
