Produktbeschreibung

This third volume completes the set of a groundbreaking reception history of the Psalter, the culmination of two decades' work In Volume Threeof Psalms Through the Centuries: A Reception History Commentary on Psalms 73-151, the internationally recognized biblical scholar Professor Susan Gillingham examines the Jewish and Christian cultural and reception history of Books Three to Five of the Psalter. She examines the changing ways in which psalms have been understood in translations and commentaries, liturgy and prayer, study and preaching, music and art, poetic and dramatic performance, and political and ethical discourse. Lavishly illustrated with thirty colour plates, several black and white images and a number of musical scores, this volume also includes a comprehensive glossary of terms for readers less familiar with the subject and a full, selective bibliography complete with footnote references for each psalm. Numerous links to website resources also allow readers to pursue topics at greater depth, and three clearly organized indices facilitate searches by specific psalms or authors, or types of reception for selected psalms. This structure makes the commentary easy to use, whether for private study, teaching or preaching. The book also offers: * A one-of-a-kind treatment of the reception history of the psalms that starts where most commentaries end-- beginning with the trajectory of the Psalter's multi-faceted reception over two millennia * Specific discussions of both Jewish and Christian responses to individual psalms Psalms Through the Centuries: A Reception History Commentary on Psalms 73-151, like the previous two volumes, will earn a distinctive place in the libraries of faculties, colleges, seminaries, and religious communities as well as in private collections of students and scholars of biblical studies, theology, and religion.

Autorenporträt

Sue Gillingham is Reader in Old Testament at the University of Oxford and Fellow and Tutor in Theology at Worcester College. She is the author of several books on the Psalms and is particularly interested in literary and theological analyses of the Psalter as a whole and the Jewish and Christian reception history of individual psalms. She has also published a book on the art and architecture of Worcester College Chapel under the title Encountering Burges. In 2013 two books were published. The first (Jewish and Christian Approaches to the Psalms: Conflict and Convergence) is an edited work of papers given by a team of international psalms scholars at a conference on the same topic at Worcester College in September 2010. The second (A Journey of Two Psalms. The Reception of Psalms 1-2 in Jewish and Christian Tradition) traces the reception history of these two psalms from their early origins up to the present day, not only through the comentary tradition but through their liturgical use, visual exegesis, musical interpretation, and imitation in English literature. She is at present working on a second volume of Psalms Through the Centuries (the first was published with Wiley Blackwell in 2008, pbk 2012)which examines the reception history, more briefly, of all the psalms in the Psalter.
