The Psalms capture every emotion humans ever have toward God: fear, love, anger, gratitude, the whole gamut. Many of these emotions are unpleasant. In an effort to avoid being discomfited, Merrill reduces this whole span to mere shades of affection. It ends up sounding an awful lot like the Song of Songs, making me wonder if that book is itself the result of a similar process, through some more ancient voice. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Every commentary on the Book of Psalms has had to face the issue that many of these prayers commemorate and celebrate wrath and vengeance. What is needed is not ingenious exegetical rationalization of ancient texts, but the kind of transformation into a work of piety and art that is provided here.Addressed are the needs of a world seeking to counter individual and societal injustices by a global peace born of personal peace through prayer and practice. In short, here is the Book of Psalms recast in the light of the continuing revelation and evolution of the authentic religious spirit of the scriptures.
