Over the past year, we have seen that the fear of death caused by the pandemic has stopped the world. In this book, each contributor not only tries to narrow the gap between the book of Psalms and the contemporary reader but also encourages us to endure and enjoy our lives in our life settings in this “strange land.” The authors recognize our weaknesses and remind us about the saving power of Jesus’s death for us. They try to make the “difficulties and impediments,” as one contributor says, “constitutive of the saving power of Jesus Christ” that transforms our hearts.
