Riassunto

"Speaking to God in words that He has chosen. would enrich our worship. Yes, it will prove a learning experience for our congregations, but the dimensional richness the Psalms afford would be well worth the effor."John D. Hannah /Distinguished Professor of Historical Thieology, Dallas Theological Seminary, Dallas, Texas

"If you have never sung the psalms and would like good biblical rather than historical reasons for doing so, and, crucially, if you want the key to understanding what you sing, you should read this book."Kenneth Stewart/Minister, Dowanvale Free Church of Scotland, Glasgow

"The Psalter is a spiritual cardiograph...The more I am `at home' in singing the Psalms, the spiritually fitter I am...LeFebvre's book is scholarly and readable. It provides a wonderful incentive to `Sing the Psalms, again'."Jonathan Fletcher / Vicar, Emmanuel Church, Wimbledon, London

"This book powerfully reminds us that the church has for too long ignored a vibrant source of devotion---the song book of Jesus... we can't afford to neglect this divinely inspired song book that God has given us."Donald W. Sweeting | President & Professor of Church History, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, Florida

Su questo libro

Recensione:

In this short book of 160 pages, we have a good summary of the theology (purpose) of the Psalms. The author provides clear principles for interpreting the Psalms in a Christ-centred way and shows us how we can develop a precious intimacy with the King through ongoing usage of the Psalms. Using them in public worship is a God-given way of exalting King Jesus as we see him fulfil his role as Leader of the praise of God's people. --Malcolm MacLean, Minister, Greyfriars Free Church of Scotland, Inverness, Scotland

This book powerfully reminds us that the church has for too long ignored a vibrant source of devotion-the song book of Jesus...we can't afford to neglect this divinely inspired song book that God has given us. --Donald W. Sweeting, President & Professor of Church History, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, Florida

This book should admirably fulfil the author's purpose by forcing those who have rejected or neglected the psalms in their praise to think again. Its central theory (that the psalms consist of praise conversations between God, his Messiah and his people) should help to illuminate the status of the psalter as the New Covenant song book it was meant to be and sheds much needed light on such dark areas as the imprecatory (cursing) psalms. If you have never sung the psalms and would like good biblical rather than historical reasons for doing so, and, crucially, if you want the key to understanding what you sing, you should really read this book . --Kenneth Stewart, Minister, Glasgow Reformed Presbyterian Church, Glasgow
