Psalms 73-150: Volume 23 (Volume 23) (New Collegeville Bible Commentary: Old Testament) by Dianne CSA Bergant

Dianne Bergant examines the theological and historical circumstances from which the psalms originated. She reveals how the psalms were intended for instruction as well as prayer, and helps us experience their lyrical nature. In a fresh encounter with these poems of lament, hymns of praise, and prayers of thanksgiving, readers gain a new appreciation for these ancient texts, remembering that God - who dwells with us still - is "gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in mercy" (Pss show more 145:8). show less

Collegeville Bible Commentary: Based on the New American Bible With Revised New Testament by Dianne Bergant

Being an exhaustive commentary on the Bible, as broken down into sections which cover a few verses apiece and which summarize the literal meaning of the passages in more modern and concise terms, as well as frequently suggesting deeper meaning. Each book has been assigned to a distinct author. It was produced under Roman auspices, but is useful for all persuasions. It is a fine mind-jogger for the production of meditations and sermons.
