This book delves into a scholarly look at the book of Psalms without overwhelming the lay reader. It clearly identifies the main discussions among scholars taking place today and historically both theologically and in the study of its structure. The chapters are brief, and the writing style informative and friendly. The text is full of examples. I would heartily recommend this book to someone who is curious to begin studying Psalms in a more technical manner while seeking healthy interpretation of the text spiritually. It could also help the reader start to build a context and framework within which to put information gained in future and perhaps more heady studies of the book.
