Additional text

For anyone interested in theology, the interpretative history of Psalm translation and commentary, and specifically in the Penitential Psalms, this is the book for them. Cecilia Hatt is clearly steeped in the theology of the period and in her introduction to John Fisher's sermons on the Penitential Psalms she ranges widely from one Church Father to another ... Cecilia Hatt has gone out of her way to ease readers into a sensitive exploration of Fisher's theology; she has done this with expert care and consummate understanding. For this she should be congratulated.
