Synopsis

One of the world's most trusted Bible scholars, N. T. Wright turns his attention to the central collection of prayers that Jesus and Paul knew best: the book of Psalms. Wright points out that the Psalms have served as the central prayer and hymnbook for the church since its beginning—until now. In The Case for the Psalms, Wright calls us to return to the Psalms as a steady, vital component of healthy Christian living. Reading, studying, and praying the Psalms is God's means for teaching us what it means to be human: how to express our emotions and yearnings, how to reconcile our anger and our compassion, how to see our story in light of God's sweeping narrative of salvation. Wright provides the tools for understanding and incorporating these crucial verses into our own lives. His conclusion is simple: all Christians need to read, pray, sing, and live the Psalms.

I love worship. I love modern worship like United and Jesus Culture, I love traditional hymns like Amazing Grace and A Mighty Fortress is Our God. But most of all, I love the Psalms. It wasn't long before I was able to talk, and probably before I was able to read, that my grandmother began pushing m......more

Goodreads review by Jared on December 29, 2022

In this volume, Wright offers a bird's eye view of the Psalms and the import of their theology. His intentions here are clearly more pastoral than academic; he is simply trying to convince Christians that the Psalms are worth our time. His approach to the book is rooted more in biblical theology tha......more

Goodreads review by Jeff on November 06, 2013

This little book is an outstanding read in a couple of ways. Wright, for those who don't already know, is one of the world's most compelling and surely that most recognized New Testament scholar. In this he has written a book on the Psalms that draws upon the biblical worldview that he has articulat......more
