Description
This is the second of a three-volume commentary on the Psalms, combining literary, historical, grammatical, and theological insight in a widely accessible manner. One of today's foremost experts on biblical theology, John Goldingay covers Psalms 42-89 with his own translation of each passage, followed by interpretive comments and theological implications. "The book of Psalms is the literary sanctuary; a holy place where humans share their joys and struggles with brutal honesty in God's show more presence," writes Tremper Longman III, editor of the Baker Commentary on the Old Testament Wisdom and Psalms series. Pastors, seminary students, scholars, and Bible study leaders will enjoy this accessible and enriching volume. This is the fourth volume in the series. show lessTags

Theological perspectives: Conservative, evangelical
Evaluation: Sometimes it feels the author is taking contrarian or exotic positions simply to be different. There is not always adequate justification for exegetical choices.

Overall, this is a fine commentary in most respects, well designed and executed for its intended, pastoral ministry audience. But it is a disappointing that a scholar of Goldingay's caliber elected not to engage "the cutting edge."
