Psalms: Volume 3 (90–150)

John Goldingay is David Allen Hubbard Professor of Old Testament at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. He has authored numerous books and articles and is perhaps best known for his three-volume Old Testament theology as well as his three-volume commentary on the book of Psalms, published as part of the Baker Commentary on the Old Testament Wisdom and Psalms. What makes this series different from other commentary series is its treatment of just the wisdom books (Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs) and the Book of Psalms. This allows the authors of the individual volumes, as Tremper Longman III, the general editor of the series, explains in the series preface, to shape their work to the unique character of this part of the biblical canon. The primary focus of each commentary is the message of the specific book. This is due to the fact that the Baker Commentary on the Old Testament Wisdom and Psalms has a particular audience in mind. Although scholars, pastors, students, and Bible-study leaders can all benefit from the series, it was written with ministers and seminary students in mind. [Full Review]
