Reviews

"One can already see why this first Reformation Commentary on Scripture volume on the psalms is a treasure trove. . . . It is a window into the world of Reformation hermeneutics. Undoubtedly, volumes such as this one in the Reformation Commentary on Scripture promise scholarly discussion (and debate!) for ages to come, though I would hope it would also promote ongoing research as to why the Reformers believed the psalms were so critical to their new program of reform within the church and throughout society as a whole."
*Matthew Barrett, The Sixteenth Century Journal, Winter 2016*

"One can hardly overstate the value of this skillfully edited volume, especially given the significance of the Book of Psalms to the life of the church. It is rare in academia today to find a book that is so profoundly useful to such a wide range of audiences. Researchers, professional clergy, and lay persons alike will benefit from this volume in a wide variety of ways. I can only hope that InterVarsity Press will continue to produce volumes of such significance."
*Michael Chan, Lutheran Quarterly*

"The greatest strength of the volume is arguably its exhibition of the Reformers' integration of spirituality and scholarship as a model for academics today – the fourth goal of RCS. . . . It is rare today to find prayers and hymns in a scholarly commentary, but Selderhuis has included both."
*Jannes Smith, Renaissance and Reformation, Fall 2017*
