Christ in the Psalms Paper back - 2000

by PATRICK HENRY REARDON

  • New

Description

Conciliar Press, September 2000. Paper Back. New. Father Patrick seamlessly blends scholarship and devotional sense in this commentary on the Psalms: ''All I have done here is to try to look at the Psalms through the lens of Christ, especially as contoured through the rest of the Bible and the liturgical worship of the Church,'' he says, and his erudition and immersion in these sources seldom fail to yield rich and nourishing teaching. Case in point, Psalm 23, the ''Good Shepherd Psalm.'' Maybe everyone else already realized the allusions, but we were delighted with the perfect sacramental structure our author points out in one of those biblical texts that is perhaps too well-known: ''He leads me beside still waters'' (baptism); ''You anoint my head with oil chrismation); ''You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies... my cup runs over'' (eucharist). Without too much exaggeration, we can say that similar insights tumble from nearly every page of this valuable book. 304 pp.
