Taking his point of departure from the newest frontier of research, McCann reads the psalms in the context of their final shape and canonical form. He interprets the psalms as scripture as well as in their character as songs, prayers, and poetry from Israel's history. McCann's intent is to contribute to the church's recovery of the psalms as torah--as instruction, as a guide to prayer, praise of God, and pious living. The explicit connections which McCann draws from the psalms to the New Testament and to Christian faith and life are extensive, making his work suitable for serious study of the psalms in academic and in church settings. An appendix examines the tradition of singing the psalms and offers suggestions for the use of the psalms in worship.

The Psalms are an important part of Christianity and understanding the Bible. They have been used for years as a core to the Bible and can even stand as a summary of Scripture and all that it offers. The Psalms are also a wonderful and easy introduction to the Bible and the devotional aspects that come with studying God's Word for people of all ages. All 150 Psalms will take you through a full range of human emotions from God's creation and can help you transform your own understandings of your faith as well. This devotional companion shows the text of the Psalms with a one-page reflection that lets you dig into the Word. Each reflection includes a basic introduction with useful information and a structured way to pray, meditate on, and apply the psalms to your life. This follows the Lutheran Understanding of the study of God's Word: oratio (prayer), meditatio (meditation), and tentatio (struggle).
