Joshua James

Psalms for Normal People (eBook, ePUB)

A Guide to the Most Relentlessly Theological Book in the Bible

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

For millennia the psalms have been whispered in prayer, lifted in song, and recited in worship. They are among the most well-known and beloved writings in the Bible. And yet...

Our familiarity with ancient Israel's sacred songs can obscure their strangeness. Their otherness. Their ... well ... ancientness.

Join Joshua T. James as he unpacks the biblical scholarship surrounding this enduring collection of poetry and songs, from the ancient psalmists' cultural, political and theological contexts to the key movements in Psalms' scholarship. By illuminating the oddities hiding in plain sight, James unveils the wonder and mystery inherent in the psalms, and makes a compelling case for their relevance today.

Autorenporträt

Joshua T. James (PhD, Fuller Theological Seminary) is one of the pastors of The Restoration Project in Salisbury, Maryland. He also serves as an "Affiliate Assistant Professor of Old Testament" at his alma mater, which is a fancy way of saying, he's very very part-time. Josh lives on the Eastern Shore of Maryland with his wife, Kate, their two sons, Abe and Jude, and Porter, a beagle who is endlessly plotting his great escape.
