Psalms 90 –100

Reading this volume is like "listening in" as a Psalms scholar ponders the text. Instead of a piecemeal introduction to multiple fields of study (dating, intertextuality, grammar, accents, lexis, word order, etc.), this handbook offers a synthetic experience of one text and how to understand it with the benefit of all the study that has gone before.

~Elizabeth Robar, CEO, Scriptura

For intermediate and advanced students of Hebrew, as well as their teachers, John Screnock’s reference work is a gift that performs a great pedagogical service.  Screnock helpfully unpacks and often reframes difficult grammatical issues related to Hebrew poetry and applies them to a theologically central portion of Psalms with great interpretive effect. But his focus is not limited to grammar alone: genre analysis, literary context, lyric sequencing, parallelism, Masoretic accentuation, and shape (as opposed to structure) all play definitive roles in this generative study. Highly recommended!
