Norman Whybray\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book discusses the theory that the Psalter was compiled with the specific intention that it should be used as a book for private spiritual reading. It is argued that if this were so, the work of the final editors would not have been confined to arranging the psalms in a particular order but would have included additions and interpolations intended to give the whole book a new orientation. An investigation of selected psalms shows that although the Psalter may have become a book for private devotion not long after its compilation, there is little evidence that it was compiled for that purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781850757979\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Sheffield Academic Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40607478284494,"sku":"9781850757979","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781850757979","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
