Psalm 7

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Psalm 7 is a psalm of individual lament and a psalm of innocence written by David, who has apparently been accused of vicious crimes, possibly high treason. David presents the situation before God, describing how he believes his accuser, if left unchecked, will tear him to pieces. David calls for God to descend upon the earth and rule with justice, vindicating the righteous and destroying the wicked. In the end, the evil deeds of the wicked recoil on himself and praise is directed to God, in what is not an atypical turn from distress to praise in the psalter. The psalm is titled with a mysterious superscription giving clues to its historical context. This commentary explores the historical context of Psalm 7, examines its structure and features, and provides a verse-by-verse commentary. The commentary concludes with reflections for the modern Christian.

Autorenporträt

Travis C. Mallett was raised as a fundamentalist Christian who took every word of the Bible as being the inspired, inerrant word of God, and source of objective truth. But after studying the Bible in-depth (and taking some seminary classes), he found that the data of the Bible itself made this view untenable. He later found Progressive Christianity to be an open and honest place for deep discussions. He is also fascinated by personal finance and investing, and has spent much time studying the connections between those topics and his new faith.
