Praying the Psalms, Second Edition: Engaging Scripture and the Life of the Spirit

In this thoroughly revised edition of a classic in spirituality, Walter Brueggemann guides the reader into a thoughtful and moving encounter with the Psalms. This new edition includes a revised text, new notes, and new bibliography.The movement and meeting of God with us is indeed a speech-event in which new hamanness is evoked among us. Being attentive to language means cultivating the candid imagination to bring our own experience to the Psalms and permitting it to be disciplined by the speech of the Psalms. And conversely, it means letting the Psalms address us and having that language reshape our sensitivities and fill our minds with new pictures and images that we may redirect our lives. --from Chapter 3Canadian Biotechnology Advisory Committee Staff is the author of 'Praying the Psalms, Second Edition: Engaging Scripture and the Life of the Spirit' with ISBN 9781556352836 and ISBN 1556352832.
