RCS OT 08: Psalms 73-150

Throughout the history of the church, Christians have often turned to the Book
of Psalms in both rejoicing and suffering as a significant resource for
Christian belief and practice, and as the church's prayer book and hymnal. The
Protestant reformers also turned to the Psalms during their time of significant
spiritual renewal, theological debate, and ecclesial reform.
There they found comfort, guidance, and wisdom from God that applied to their
context as much as it did to David's. As John Calvin explained, The Holy " Spirit has presented in a living image all the griefs, sorrows, fears, doubts,
hopes, cares, perplexities, in short, all the emotions with which human minds
are often disturbed. And as Martin Luther proclaimed, the reformers also heard " a resounding affirmation of the good news of Jesus Christ: The Psalter ought " to be a precious and beloved book because it promises Christ's death and
resurrection so clearly."
In this volume, Herman Selderhuis guides readers through the diversity of
Reformation-era commentary on the second half of the Psalter. Represented
herein are well-known voices as well as lesser-known figures from a variety of
theological traditions, including Lutherans, Reformed, Radicals, Anglicans, and
Roman Catholics, many of whose comments appear for the first time in English.
By making available a variety of resources - including commentaries, sermons,
treatises, and confessionsùthis volume enables scholars to better understand
the depth and breadth of Reformation commentary, provides resources for
contemporary preachers, and offers keen insights to all who trust that their
help comes from the Lord.
