4.0 out of 5 stars Great Scholarly Commentary, February 19, 2007

This review is from: Word Biblical Commentary Psalms 101-150, Volume 21 Revised (Hardcover)

As with all Word Biblical Commentaries this one is a great scholarly work. The update has some good information, including at least in some psalm discussions, Brueggemann's categories of "orientation, disorientation and new orientation." I have always found the format and style (the font is difficult to read) of these commentaries difficult to work through but the information regarding Hebrew language, references to other scholar's works and detailed historical information is helpful. These always have a great bibliography that can guide further study. There are not many newer commentaries on Psalms that are completely finished so this one can complement some of the other volumes from others series. If you are looking for a reader friendly layout and insight into daily living this is probably not the commentary for you.
