Psalms 42-72 (ITC)

Psalms 42-72, many of which are closely identified with King David as person as well as figure, include some of the most intimate and forceful expressions of Israelite/Judean spirituality. The Psalms reveal many theological points along the way; some of these developed, others inchoate. The security in Zion''s God which replies to the longing of ''the soul'' gives way to Psalms which keenly feel the absence of God, interspersed with assertions of the Lord''s ability to save, and a widening sense of the scope of salvation as being in some sense ''communal''. Mark W. Elliott examines these and other themes in Psalms 42-72. He considers historical exegesis and makes use of literary approaches to get at the sense of the text. The riches of Christian praying and preaching of the psalms provide a guide into deeper theological assertion, with Elliott keeping one eye on the covenant relationship of faith and the other on Christ as author and finisher thereof.>
