Psalms and Practice by Stephen Breck Reid
Worship, Virtue, and Authority
This book brings together an impressive array of younger scholars who ask fresh questions of the Psalter and move in new directions of interpretationThe common focus is on practice, the real, live utilizations of Psalms in the practice of worshiping communities. This collection represents the live edge of current research and evidences a healthy reengagement of faith and criticism. No doubt the new accent on Psalms so vigorously represented here attests to the way in which a destabilized culture is being pushed back to basics. This book shows why the Psalter is close to basic for serious worship and ethics, indeed for serious human living.Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary
