In this book, scripture scholar Margaret Daly-Denton accompanies the reader through a fresh look at the Psalms. From the Psalter as a collection of ancient Israelite religious poetry traditionally associated with King David, to the New Testament portrayal of Jesus as pray-er of the psalms, Daly-Denton guides her reader through the centuries-long process of re-interpretation that is ongoing today. Written in an accessible and friendly style, Psalm-Shaped Prayerfulness is intended for newcomers to biblical studies, people training for ministry, church musicians, members of parish liturgy teams, and anyone with an interest in the scriptural roots of Christian spirituality.
