Publisher's Synopsis
The Royal Psalms is a book written by Keith R. Crim that provides a comprehensive analysis of the Psalms in the Bible that are specifically related to the kings of Israel. These Psalms, known as the Royal Psalms, were composed to celebrate the reigns of the kings and to offer prayers for their success and protection. The book begins with an introduction to the history and context of the Royal Psalms, including their literary structure and themes. Crim then provides a detailed commentary on each of the 11 Royal Psalms, including Psalm 2, 18, 20, 21, 45, 72, 89, 101, 110, 132, and 144. Throughout the book, Crim examines the historical and cultural background of each Psalm, as well as its literary style and theological significance. He also explores the ways in which the Royal Psalms have been interpreted and used in Jewish and Christian traditions throughout history.Overall, The Royal Psalms is a valuable resource for scholars, pastors, and laypeople seeking to deepen their understanding of the Psalms and the role they played in the religious and political life of ancient Israel.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
