| Publisher Description: The Boice Commentary series combines careful scholarship and clear communication in a verse-by-verse and section by section reading of various biblical texts. Combining thoughtful interpretation with contemporary insight for daily living, James Montgomery Boice explains the meaning of the text and relates the text's concerns to the church, Christianity, and the world in which we live. Whether used for devotions, preaching, or teaching, this authoritative and thought-provoking series will appeal to a wide range of readers, from serious Bible students to interested laypersons. "The psalms themselves," says Boice, "speak so powerfully to the hurts, fears, disappointments, faith, hope, and spiritual aspirations of God's people." This first volume in the Psalms collection looks at varied songs-teaching wisdom for living, crying out for justice, and raising morning refrains of confidence and repentance. |
