Three books on the Psalms
September 24, 2007
And while Phil's reading up on imputation, here are three new ones on the psalms:
J A Motyer, Treasures of the King: Psalms from the Life of David (IVP - UK). Good devotional book. Has Motyer ever written anything that isn't worth reading? I suppose not having a blog helps with that one.
Richard P Belcher, Jr, The Messiah and the Psalms (Christian Focus). Offers advice on preaching Christ from the psalms, but worth the read even for non-preachers.
John D Witvliet, The Biblical Psalms in Christian Worship (Eerdmans). Great resource book with some good bibliography. A bit `emergent church meets Eastern Orthodoxy meets the CRC' at points, but worth a purchase by pastors and worship leaders. Nice discussion of how psalms can -- and should -- be at the core of corporate worship. But you all put the psalms at the centre of corporate worship already. Ahem.
