"Perceptive, erudite, delightful."
—Elie Wiesel
"This book is the result of a lifetime of study of the Hebrew Bible
by a mature scholar whose love of the Tanakh, and especially of the
Psalter, shines through on every page. It is a beautiful book
written in a poetic style worthy of the psalms themselves."
—James A. Sanders, Professor of Biblical Studies, The School of
Theology at Claremont, and President of the Ancient Biblical
Manuscript Center
"A towering scholar elucidates not only the scholarly issues
involved in the psalms, but also the way these powerful religious
texts impart their emotional and spiritual message. Sarna leaves us
with a fresh understanding of the Psalter that will inspire Jew and
Christian alike."
—Hershel Shanks, Editor of Bible Review and Biblical Archaeology
Review
"The psalms speak to every aspect of the human condition, and are
as timely today as when they were first written. Their message
comes through with strength and beauty in Nahum Sarna's work."
—Robert McAfee Brown, Professor Emeritus of Theology and Ethics,
Pacific School of Religion
