Psalms Volume I: Evangelical Biblical Theology Commentary

by James M. Hamilton Jr.

Overview

The Psalms are a carefully arranged collage of history, prophecy, and praise.

James M. Hamilton provides a fresh translation and interpretation of the Psalms. This first volume introduces the Psalms and covers Psalms 1–72. Though commonly read in isolation, the Psalms are best read as a collage that tells a story of God's faithfulness to his people through his king. Hamilton observes the significance of the Psalter's intentional macro—structuring and intricate links across neighboring psalms. Hamilton interprets with a literary sensitivity and an eye towards canonical connections. Learn where the Psalms belong in the redemptive story, how they relate to God's people, and how they find their fulfillment in Jesus.

The Evangelical Biblical Theology Commentary (EBTC) series locates each biblical book within redemptive history and illuminates its unique theological contributions. All EBTC volumes feature informed exegetical treatment of the biblical book and thorough discussion of its most important theological themes in relation to the canon—all in a style that is useful and accessible to students of Scripture.

Editorial Reviews

This commentary belongs on the desk of every preacher and in the library of every Christian.”

—R. Albert Mohler, Jr., president, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

“I will return to this work every time I preach, teach, and write on a psalm.”

—Dane Ortlund, pastor, Naperville Presbyterian Church

“Everyone who preaches or teaches the psalms needs to use this helpful resource.”
—Craig A. Carter, author of Interpreting Scripture with the Great Tradition: Recovering the Genius of Premodern Exegesis

"This commentary is by a man who loves God and loves the psalms, and both shine through clearly in his work. Written in an accessible, conversational style, Hamilton's analysis engages the specifics of the text through a nuanced, original translation of the Hebrew, interacts with the best of contemporary and older scholarship, and presents an original reading of the Psalter as a book that consistently points to Christ."

—David M. Howard, Jr., professor of Old Testament, Bethlehem College and Seminary
