--- The Psalms ---
More than just a collection of praises to God, the songs of the book of Psalms truly speak to the human condition, having arisen out of every phase of life, out of joy and sorrow, out of success and failure. They have been sung throughout the ages, in times of prosperity and times of persecution, war and exile. And still they are read, sung and meditated upon today, by both Jews and Christians around the world.
Here is an opportunity to read the book of Psalms afresh, with an original introduction by David Adam which casts new light on one of the oldest of texts.
--- About David Adam ---
David Adam was for thirteen years Vicar of the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, and is the author of many successful books of Celtic prayers and spirituality.
--- About the Series ---
'DLT Books of the Bible' are designed to reignite a passion for reading the Bible. A selection of Christian writers and leaders have each been invited to choose a book (or selection of books), and introduce it anew for a modern audience. With this unique platform, they can:
- Explain what most excites them about this book of the Bible
- Encourage you to look deeper into their context and meaning
- Highlight what they've learnt from reading it
- Inspire you to read the book afresh with a new perspective
Famous names who've put pen to paper for the series include:
- R T Kendall (Galatians)
- Rowan Williams (Mark)
- David Adam (Psalms)
- and many more
Each volume in this essential new series contains the text of the selected book, from the New Jerusalem Bible (NJB), one of the most respected and readable modern English translations. Over time, this will build up into an outstanding collection of books – a contemporary perspective on what the Bible means to us today, and a wonderful way to rediscover the joy of Bible reading.
