| Resumo: | Contemporary Christian worship is based largely on praise and adoration. When disaster strikes and we are angry towards God, Christians feel guilty, accused of lack of faith, finding no vent for their emotions. The psalms of lament provide a means of praying honestly and brutally to God demanding that he responds. Regardless of specific circumstances, the emotions expressed in the psalms are relevant to the emotions experienced by modern readers. They help them pray with equal bold frankness and relate to the movement in the psalms of lament towards a restored relationship with God. |
