There is nothing that can speak to the Christian’s heart quite like the Psalms. These cherished songs lead us into worship, guide our lament, and teach us to pray. But they are even more vibrant when we understand the context, author’s intent, and recognize what this means for our lives today. This is what the best preachers do, but you don’t have to wait until Sunday’s sermon. Encounter the beautiful depth of Psalms through an enlightening chapter-by-chapter commentary from Robert L. Alden that’s both straightforward and insightful. This single-volume commentary is helpfully divided into three thought-provoking sections:

-Songs of Devotion
-Songs of Dedication
-Songs of Discipleship

You don’t have to go to seminary to encounter God in exciting, new ways through His Word. Discover how much more enjoyable your personal study will be with understandable, quality Bible commentary for everyday life.

THE BIBLE IS FOR EVERYONE.
Now biblical scholarship can be too.
Discover how enjoyable your personal study will be with understandable, quality Bible commentary for everyday life.
The commentary does a great job of uncovering the underlying structure in a way that encourages the reader to dig deeper into each of the Psalms. I appreciate the way Alden speaks with clarity and authority on matters that enhance a reader’s understanding of a psalm without getting entangled in different controversies of an academic study.

I loved learning the various circumstances under which individual psalms were written and how that deepens the meaning for me in my walk with Christ. I feel that my understanding of the book of Psalms has grown much through the reading of this commentary. This is a great resource for those who, like me, have had no formal education on the Scriptures. In addition to being an ancient “hymnal,” the book of Psalms is also poetry, and the commentary writer was quick to explain the different styles of writing and how the Psalms followed certain poetic structure. I also loved knowing that sometimes the original structure of the psalm was different when read in Hebrew.
-Shannon Stutzman, Retired Middle School Teacher
