Book Synopsis Praying the Psalms, Second Edition by : Walter Brueggemann
Download or read book Praying the Psalms, Second Edition written by Walter Brueggemann and published by Cascade Books. This book was released on 2007-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thoroughly revised edition of a classic in spirituality, Walter Brueggemann guides the reader into a thoughtful and moving encounter with the Psalms. This new edition includes a revised text, new notes, and new bibliography. "The movement and meeting of God with us is indeed a speech-event in which new humanness is evoked among us. Being attentive to language means cultivating the candid imagination to bring our own experience to the Psalms and permitting it to be disciplined by the speech of the Psalms. And, conversely, it means letting the Psalms address us and having that language reshape our sensitivities and fill our minds with new pictures and images that may redirect our lives." --from Chapter 3 "I am so glad to see this second edition of Praying the Psalms. In it Walter Brueggemann reveals the ways in which the Psalms teach the mother tongue of biblical speech by inviting us to the risk of daring candor with God.The contemporary church in North America regularly suffers collective amnesia in the face of the languages of techno-speak, market share and sentimental cliche that shape the world we inhabit. Praying the Psalms offers a surprising antidote to this chronic forgetfulness. It invites us to recover our ancient memory and true identity by learning again to pray the Psalms. I know of no better book for introducing a congregation to the Psalms than this one." --Edwin Searcy, Pastor, University Hill Congregation, United Church of Canada, Vancouver, BC "'The Psalms just don't speak to me.' Anyone who has ever felt this way should read Brueggemann's book. . . . He shows how these ancient prayers can lead us from the disorientation of our chaotic lives into a reorientation of transformation. His treatment of both the post-Holocaust Christian use of these very Jewish prayers and the troublesome call for vengeance is most timely. This book shows how the Psalms can indeed speak to us." --Dianne Bergant, CSA author of Preaching the New Lectionary ." . . Brueggemann pushes me and other readers to recognize the full gamut of passions reflected in the Psalms: joy and exultation but also disappointment, sorrow, anger, resentment, even the desire for vengeance. . . . I am grateful to Brueggemann for making me more alert to what the Psalms are saying about our common human relation to God and more honest about my own feelings as I pray the Psalms every day as part of the Liturgy of the Hours." --Joseph A. Bracken, SJ coauthor of Self-Emptying Love in a Global Context "Few persons have so lived in and with the Psalms as Walter Brueggemann. Here he takes us into their depths, which are so clearly the depths of our human existence. The piety of the Psalms is strong medicine. Brueggemann bids us take it for the cure of our souls." --Patrick D. Miller author of Interpreting the Psalms and They Cried to the Lord Walter Brueggemann is William Marcellus McPheeters Professor of Old Testament Emeritus at Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, Georgia. He is the author of numerous works including Theology of the Old Testament, Inscribing the Text, Prophetic Imagination, and David's Truth.

Book Synopsis A Theological Introduction to the Book of Psalms by : Prof. J. Clinton McCann JR.
Download or read book A Theological Introduction to the Book of Psalms written by Prof. J. Clinton McCann JR. and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking his point of departure from the newest frontier of research, McCann reads the psalms in the context of their final shape and canonical form. He interprets the psalms as scripture as well as in their character as songs, prayers, and poetry from Israel's history. McCann's intent is to contribute to the church's recovery of the psalms as torah--as instruction, as a guide to prayer, praise of God, and pious living. The explicit connections which McCann draws from the psalms to the New Testament and to Christian faith and life are extensive, making his work suitable for serious study of the psalms in academic and in church settings. An appendix examines the tradition of singing the psalms and offers suggestions for the use of the psalms in worship.

Book Synopsis Thomas Aquinas as Reader of the Psalms by : Thomas Ryan
Download or read book Thomas Aquinas as Reader of the Psalms written by Thomas Ryan and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often overlooked but rich in inspiration, Aquinas' Commentary on the Psalms is part of his lectures on the Bible delivered to students. Composed near the end of his life, this work reflects his mature thought on such central issues as Christ, prayer, preaching, grace, and good works. In his study of this important text, Thomas Ryan shows how the Postilla super Psalmos offers new insight into Aquinas' spirituality. Combining literary, thematic, and comparative questions, Ryan reveals how this work differs from those more familiar to modern students of Aquinas, and he articulates its significance for the study of spirituality. Aquinas believed the Psalms to be a book that contained all of theology, revealing so much about Christ that it resembles New Testament gospels more than Old Testament prophetic books. Ryan identifies patterns in Aquinas' confirmatory use of scripture and his use of christological quotations. He shows how Super Psalmos reflects the evocative way in which Aquinas draws out meaning for his students' lives and pastoral practices, and reveals how as a teacher and theologian Aquinas was intent on moving his students -- often through dramatic language -- both to imitation of Christ and to action inspired by prayer. The first treatment of Super Psalmos in English, Ryan's work recovers Aquinas as an accomplished biblical and pastoral theologian and not simply a dispassionate expositor of theology, reestablishing him as an important resource for spirituality. It offers a better understanding of Aquinas' life and work as it suggests new potential for assessing other Thomistic writings -- and also invites us to reconsider the deeper meaning of the Psalms.
