Description
Who wrote the Psalms? What are their groups and genres? Can we find Jesus in the Psalter? How can we use these ancient songs today?
In the style of a catechism, this book draws you into the majestic, meditative depths of the inspired songs of God. Divided into seven short sections, 150 questions and answers address the content and arrangement of the Psalter, Psalm genres and groupings, the historical context of the author, the Psalms' relationship to the rest of Scripture and the life of Christ, and their use in private and public worship. Appendixes include worksheets and charts and quotations from theologians and church fathers.
Endorsements
"Singing metrical psalms today has become akin to canning fruit, baking one's own bread, and shaving with a straight razor: quaint, but passé; fine for heritage Sunday, but impractical for our times.... Johnston's psalter catechism answers may of the questions that arise about singing the psalms. Its publication will help facilitate their more widespread use today."
