Description
The Psalms were composed for singing. In Old and New Testament times, and throughout Church history, congregations sang Psalms. Despite renewed interest in Psalmody, few books explain how the Psalms function as hymns for Christ-centred worship. Singing the Songs of Jesus fills that gap without shying away from difficulties, like the doubts and curses of the Psalms. This study shows why the Psalms are suited for Christian praise and how to use them for powerful and relevant worship.
Endorsements
This book powerfully reminds us that the church has for too long ignored a vibrant source of devotion–the song book of Jesus…we can’t afford to neglect this divinely inspired song book that God has given us.
- Donald W. Sweeting
In this short book of 160 pages, we have a good summary of the theology (purpose) of the Psalms. The author provides clear principles for interpreting the Psalms in a Christ–centred way and shows us how we can develop a precious intimacy with the King through ongoing usage of the Psalms. Using them in public worship is a God–given way of exalting King Jesus as we see him fulfil his role as Leader of the praise of God’s people.
