Wright (New Testament & early Christianity, Univ. of St. Andrews Sch. of Divinity;
Simply Christian), former Bishop of Durham, is both a man of sincere faith—he stands on the conservative side of the Anglican Church—and a serious scholar. Wright finds both personal and ecclesiastical possibilities in the Psalms, and like most Biblical scholars confronted with them, he rapidly finds himself deep in literary criticism: mining poems for their meaning, seeking context, and searching for resonances in other locations.
VERDICT His sincere ambition to restore these ancient liturgical poems to a central place in Christian thinking is both informed and affecting and is suitable for both Christian congregations and solitary worshippers.
