| Summary: | Introduction -- Psalm 15 -- Psalm 24 -- Psalm 34 -- Psalm 37 -- Ethical ideals and reality in dialogic tension in book I -- Conclusion and prospects for further research What have the Psalms to do with ethics? Readers prize the Psalter for its richly theological prayers, but into these prayers are woven a variety of ethical issues. This book explores the ethics of the Psalter by examining the four portraits of the righteous person that punctuate Book I. It begins by studying these psalms as individual compositions and then employs both the canonical approach and dialogic criticism to identify the complex relationship between the portraits' vision of the righteous life and its outcome. --From publisher's description |
