Purchase options and add-ons

In this "meticulous" commentary, "brilliantly" translated by Linda M. Maloney (Review of Biblical Literature), Hossfeld and Zenger provide for each psalm a relevant bibliography of scholarship, a fresh translation, text-critical and philological details, and commentary on historical context, theological significance, literary structure, and reception (in Septuagint, Targums, and New Testament), engaging a wide range of scholarship as they proceed. Line drawings help to illustrate the Ancient Near Eastern context.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Hossfeld and Zenger have given us the definitive commentary on the Psalms for this generation. Their attention to exegetical, historical, redactional, and theological dimensions of these texts ensures that the reader will have the most comprehensive access to the Psalms. From careful discussion of textual issues to the New Testament' s appropriation of the Psalms, they have provided the kind of deep exploration of the Psalter not available in any other commentary." --Patrick D. Miller, Professor of Old Testament Theology Emeritus at Princeton Theological Seminary, New Jersey

My husbnad and I are both clergy with an interest in lament literature.
This commentary is very good about the psalms in the last section of the lectionary.

Good Historical-critical work on the Psalms. Every student of the Psalms must have Hermeneia and also the 3 volumes by John Goldingay.

This book offer great exegetical background for both academics and homilists. It is well worth the price but wish its binding was stronger as it is a book that will be well used for a long time

4.0 out of 5 stars A treasure trove of information
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 25, 2014
Verified Purchase
This weighty book, translated from the German, covers the last third of the Book of Psalms, one of the best-known parts of the Bible. So much has been written about the Psalms over the centuries that even a book of this size can only cover part of the material. However, it gives as much information as most people could ever want, and there are copious references for the minority who want to probe more deeply. Thus it should please everyone from enquiring laymen to professional theologians.
