Riassunto

Although the Psalms are much beloved by readers of the Bible, some hostile language in individual psalms may be disconcerting. Are these seemingly vindictive prayers acceptable in the mouths of Christians? How is a pastor supposed to preach these texts? James E. Adams wants us to embrace God's Word in its entirety, and that means examining the parts that make us uncomfortable. In short, helpful chapters, Adams answers a number of questions: Are these psalms from God? Who is the speaker in the psalms? May we pray these psalms today? It turns out that the Prince of Peace has much to teach us about war, and even the imprecatory psalms may be prayed with the merciful goal of conversion. Twenty-fifth anniversary editionincludes a new epilogue and additional chapter.

"James Adams's book on the rather startling imprecatory psalms is the best of its kind. . . .

Beeke "President, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids"

"Dr. James Adams' War Psalms of the Prince of Peace must rank among the finest studies on the imprecatory psalms....I routinely advise others to read this book when any question about those psalms arises....We would all do well to spend time in this book, with these psalms, and in prayer for God to triumph over the forces of evil we face today." --Michael A. Milton "Chair for Missions and Evangelism, Erskine Theological Seminary"
