This book is an invaluable resource whether you are a pastor, Bible study leader, teacher, or a person interested in learning more about Psalms 1-41.

  • A pastor will gain insight to Psalms and be able to write a more thorough sermon.

  • A teacher will read this book and be able to show the students a complete understanding of biblical poetry and the first 41 Psalms.

About the Author-

Allen P. Ross is the author of several different books and is currently a professor of divinity at Beeson Divinity School.

My thoughts- I thought this book was wonderful.  It is a resource I plan on recommending to people I know who are in Bible study and are pastors or teachers.

As a homeschooling mom, I particularly enjoyed the chapters, “Interpreting Biblical Poetry” and “Literary and Functions in the Psalms.”  I know I am going to use these chapters to help teach my children about biblical poetry and poetry in general.

The layout of the exposition of each Psalm by Allen P. Ross was very well thought out.  It certainly showed all the time and effort he put into developing his expositions.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants or needs to have in-depth knowledge of Psalms.

Disclosure of Material Connection- I received A Commentary on the Psalms, volume 1 (1-41) by Allen P. Ross for free from the Kregel Publications’ Blog Tour. All links were current when posted. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.
