The Book of Psalms – Volume. 1 Introduction
The Book of Psalms is the Church’s eternal prayer book: uniting heaven and earth, soul and body, suffering and glory. In this Patristic Commentary, the Psalms are presented as a living journey of the soul, shaped by the voice of Christ, the experience of the early Church Fathers, and the rhythm of salvation history.
This first volume introduces the structure, spirit, and depth of the Psalms, preparing to walk through each Psalm not only as prayer and poetry, but as prophecy fulfilled in Christ. Themes include:
The fivefold division of the Psalter and its spiritual meaning
The Psalms as the voice of Christ and the Body of Christ
Use of the Psalms in worship, repentance, and daily struggle
Insights from St. Athanasius, St. Augustine, St. Cyril, and more
How the Psalms heal, elevate, and form the inner life of the believer
