40 Days in Psalms by
40 Days in Psalms is part of a series of devotionals written for any Christian desiring to deepen his or her understanding of Scripture. The Holy Spirit uses God's Word to grow believers in their faith and increase their passion for Jesus. As each volume focuses on a particular book in the Bible, believers will find the study useful for the enrichment of daily devotional reading or as the basis for small group Bible study discussion. In this volume, readers will be led through a daily study of the Gospel of Mark. 40 Days in Psalms breaks down the book of Psalms into chunks that present the “Big Picture” of the passage, then “Digging Deeper” into that section, and then moving to help the reader into “Living Out” the lessons that are taught in each section.
Jonathan Edwards and the Psalms by
The field of Jonathan Edwards studies is only beginning to wrestle with his vast corpus of writings on the Bible. This book provides the first treatment of Edwards’ interpretation of a whole book of the Bible by offering a close study of his engagement with the book of Psalms throughout his extant corpus and exploring materials that have received little attention, including his notebooks on the Bible and dozens of handwritten sermon manuscripts. In a world experiencing major epistemological shifts and liturgical challenges, Jonathan Edwards appropriated the book of Psalms as a divinely inspired anchor to proclaim the gospel and rehearse the history of redemption. Edwards engaged the Psalter in exegesis, preaching, and worship, and throughout his corpus he discussed various theological themes—including God, revelation, humanity, sin, Christ, the Holy Spirit, the gospel, the church in its individual members, the church corporate, and the eternal dwellings of all humanity—which were all connected by the redemptive-historical framework that guided Edwards in his engagement with the Psalms. This book sets Edwards in the context of the Enlightenment, American religious history, and the history of biblical interpretation, attending especially to the Reformed tradition of exegesis. As the changing times brought new challenges to interpreting, preaching, and worshipping with the Psalms, Edwards appropriated the Psalms as one key tool for keeping the church focused on what he believed constituted the core of Christianity: the triune God’s work of redemption to reconcile depraved humanity to himself for the sake of his glory.

Indeed, Praying Psalms is best used not as a commentary but a basic primer for anyone wanting to encounter the psalms in all their rawness and vitality. Whether in small groups settings or private prayer, and whether in sequence or in random selection, Praying Psalms is a confident reassertion of the central place of the Psalter in Christian spirituality.

Jonathan Edwards and the Psalms by
Throughout church history, the book of Psalms has enjoyed wider use and acclaim than almost any other book of the Bible. Early Christians extolled it for its fullness of Christian doctrine, monks memorized and recited it daily, lay people have prayed its words as their own, and churches have sung from it as their premier hymn book. While the past half century has seen an extraordinary resurgence of interest in the thought of American theologian Jonathan Edwards, including his writings on the Bible, no scholar has yet explored his meditations on the Psalms. David P. Barshinger addresses this gap by providing a close study of his engagement with one of the Bible's most revered books. From his youth to the final days of his presidency at the College of New Jersey, Edwards was a devout student of Scripture-as more than 1,200 extant sermons, theological treatises, and thousands of personal manuscript pages devoted to biblical reflection bear witness. Using some of his writings that have previously received little to no attention, Jonathan Edwards and the Psalms offers insights on his theological engagement with the Psalms in the context of interpretation, worship, and preaching. Barshinger shows that he appropriated the history of redemption as an organizing theological framework within which to engage the Psalms specifically, and the Bible as a whole. This original study greatly advances Edwards scholarship, shedding new and welcome light on the theologian's relationship to Scripture.--Provided by publisher.
