About this book

Praise and Lament in the Psalms by Westermann, Claus. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780804217927.

Praise and lament are two major approaches to praying to God. In this book, Claus Westermann investigates these primary categories of the Psalms and shows their meaning for prayer and worship. He contrasts the Old Testament Psalms with those of Babylon and Egypt indicating their distinctive characteristics. Sensitively written and carefully reasoned, Westermanns book will be valued for the clear-cut way it brings light to the character of the ancient Psalms of Israel.
