Christ in the Psalms
Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
This collection of meditations explores the Psalms as the prayer book of the Church, inviting readers on a reflective journey through its verses. It looks at how Christians across the centuries have read and used these songs in worship and in the rhythm of the liturgical year, and asks how the figure of Christ can be glimpsed within them. Along the way the author offers down-to-earth suggestions for weaving the Psalter into ordinary daily prayer, so that the words become a steady companion in everyday life as well as in the church's public worship.
