| Publisher Description: The familiar biblical psalms are a basic and irreplaceable part of Christian worship but they come from an age so distant from ours that a few are no longer usable and none reflect the experience of Christians over the centuries. Christians have, of course, written hymns, but most of the ones we use come from the last two hundred years and few have the meditative quality of the biblical psalms. In Christian Psalms, Christopher L. Webber has constructed psalms from the writings of the greatest teachers and witnesses in Christian history: Saint Augustine, Julian of Norwich, Dorothy Day, Oscar Romero, and many more. Recommended for private prayer and meditation as well as congregational use in worship. Christopher L. Webber is author of numerous books including American to the Backbone: The Biography of James W. C. Pennington, One of the First Black Abolitionists (2011), Give Me Liberty: Speakers and Speeches that Shaped American History (2014), The Beowulf Trilogy (2012), and A New Metrical Psalter, Revised (2009). He is an Episcopal priest and has served parishes on the east and west coasts and in Japan. |
