Description

This book is divided into three sections.

The first deals with the historical development of the book, from the time of Moses (Psalm 90) down to the post-exilic period.

The second section deals with the teachings, or as we would more likely say today the theology, of the Psalms. This includes very helpful treatments of the various ways in which the Messiah is set forth in the Psalms, as well as personal and social religion in the Psalms. In addition, Binnie treats the issue of the imprecatory Psalms in a useful manner.

The final section traces the history of the use of the Psalms in both the Jewish and the Christian church.

Endorsements 

"A highly valuable work. It is not an exposition, but can readily be used as such, for it possesses a good index to the passages treated. Dr. Binnie reviews with great skill and intense devotion the various sacred poems contained in the Book of Psalms, and gives the general run and character of each one. His work is unlike any other, and supplies a great desideratum." - C.H. Spurgeon, from 'Commenting & Commentaries'

"On every page the book bears the marks of much thought, of extensive reading, and of accurate scholarship. The style is easy, quiet, and graceful, yet forcible enough when there is occasion. The three chapters on the Messianic Psalms would alone have formed a valuable contribution to theological literature." - Aberdeen Free Press
