The Psalms: Rejoice, the Lord Is King [Volume 1, Psalms 1 to 41] (James A. Johnston)

Description

The Psalms are treasured poetry that reflect the prayer and praise of ancient Israel. Every generation opens the Psalms for inspiration, comfort, hope, and encouragement.

They're also are a rich source of truth about God, humanity, and salvation. The authors of the New Testament understood this, quoting the Psalms more than any other Old Testament book to establish key doctrines. The Psalms tell the story of God's anointed king, his kingdom, and his people. They point forward to the Messiah—David's Greater Son who reigns forever and ever.

In the first volume of a three-volume commentary on the Psalms, pastor James Johnston walks readers through Psalms 1 to 41, offering exegetical and pastoral insights along the way. Accessible and engaging, this resource will help anyone interested in studying, teaching , or preaching the Bible read the Psalms in a delicately canonical and Christ-centered way.
