Anthems for a Dying Lamb offers an in-depth exposition of Psalms 113-118. Often called the Hallel, these psalms were part of the Passover seder, which directed proceedings during the Passover meal. That's one reason the Hallel became known as the 'hymn' that Jesus sang with his disciples at the Last Supper, and why it is often part of communion services when the church celebrates the Lord's Supper. Philip Ross explains Psalms 113-118 in their Old Testament context and shows how the 'trouble and sorrow' of Psalm 116, or the 'cornerstone' of Psalm 118, give us insight into Jesus' ministry and mindset in the hours before his crucifixion.

Endorsements

Don't rush through this book; it should be savored bit by bit; here is exposition one can chew on. You can bask in its fresh insights (Why didn't I think of it that way?), treasure its obvious sympathy (for faith in its bleakness and despair), squirm under its searching exposure (Do we really recognize our idolatry?)-and all the while Dr Ross keeps you firmly tethered to Jesus. Here is a mind-filling, soul-nourishing, Christ-focused feast!

Dale Ralph Davis, Minister in Residence, First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, South Carolina

Those who are acquainted with Philip Ross' fine doctoral work, From the Finger of God, already know what a careful scholar, student and expositor he is. The same values are evident in the present book.
Whether he is tackling the often ticklish questions of the relation of the 'Egyptian Hallel' to early Jewish Passover liturgies or the (plainly more congenial) task of exposition of the Psalms we meet with the same painstaking care, attention to detail, mastery of facts and subject, and, above all, devout recognition of Holy Scripture as the Word of God. The whole book is equally illuminating and heart-warming.

Alec Motyer, (1924-2016) Well known Bible expositor and commentary writer

To be a Christian is to believe and trust in the atoning sacrifice of Christ. Yet what few Christians realize is that this passion of Christ, even the very words Christ prayed during his agony, are drawn from the psalms, specifically Psalms 113-118. With pastoral care and sobering conviction, Philip Ross reveals why these psalms became our Savior's dying anthem. The reason why should move every reader to his or her knees in worship, praising God for the salvation he has accomplished through his Son, the Lamb of God.
