Book Reviews of A Theological Introduction to the Book of Psalms
Book Review: Great Introduction to the Psalter
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know what agenda the other reviewers may have, but this introduction to the Psalter is one of the best I've seen anywhere. For those who want verse-by-verse commentary, this isn't it. But for those who want to understand how the Psalms intersect with our contemporary world, this book can be an enlightening read even for those who know the Scriptures well. McCann is a "big dog" -- a top-notch scholar in Old Testmanet studies -- yet he writes this book in a manner that is accessible to practically anyone. He is neither impassionate nor inaccessible -- his faith is evident and his language connects.
You will be disappointed if you expect a commentary that deals with every psalm. This is an overview that looks at categories of psalms and how to use them. I've used this material with groups of Christians at my church and would recommend this to others as well.
