Conclusion
Sue Gillingham has lived and worked in Oxford for over thirty
years. She is Fellow and Tutor in Theology at Worcester College,
and Reader in Old Testament in the University of Oxford. She is a
Licensed Lay Minister attached to Worcester Chapel and St Barnabas
Church, Jericho. She has written several books on using and
interpreting the Psalms and is particularly interested in reception
history and psalmody, although she has written more widely on, for
example,
literary and theological analyses of the Psalter as a whole,
surveys of psalmic studies over the last century, and
historically-orientated papers, especially the importance of
Jerusalem and its Temple
Liturgy and the role of Levitical singers in the formation of the
Psalter.
Gillingham's book is a treasure trove for any exegete and scholar
who is interested in these two psalms and who works with them
*Frank Lothar Hossfield, The Expository Times*
Certainly, this magisterial work, with its wealth of learning,
provides a challenge to those who would question the validity of
this new discipline.
*Canon Anthony Phillips, Church Times*
This volume is certainly an enjoyable must-read for anyone working
on the Psalms or their reception, the history of Jewish-Christian
relations through examination of biblical exegesis, or interested
in approaches to reception history of the biblical texts more
broadly.
*Helen Spurling, Journal of Jewish Studies*
Immensely readable, beautifully presented, and thoroughly
researched, it is a joy to read and combines detailed insights with
broad relevance. It will provide the reader with both specific
input into these two texts as well as an impressive overview of
Psalms studies through the centuries. . . . This book deserves to
delight a broad readership and to inform a considerable range of
scholarship, biblical and beyond.
