In Theopoetry of the Psalms Cas J.A. Vos explores the beauty of the Psalms and examines their meaning within the context of exegesis, homiletics and poetry.

By investigating the structure, literary genre, history and theology of the Psalms he traces the ways in which they continue to be relevant to contemporary readers and to modern worship. Vos scrutinizes the Psalms as a volume of poetry and a work of art. He considers hermeneutical approaches and difficulties, providing not only a verse-by-verse analysis but also a contextual history. Vos outlines a comprehensive homiletic theory for preaching the Psalms; and concludes with a study of the Psalms in liturgy.

Theopoetry of the Psalms is valuable to those Biblical scholars who wish to explore the theological and exegetical interpretation of the Psalms as well as to those readers who are interested in liturgics and practical theology for preaching and worship.

Industry Reviews

'Vos's achievement of remaining faithful both to the ancient and modern contexts of the psalms...together with his well articulated homiletical theory, means his book is to be warmly commended to preachers and those seeking to bridge the gap between the psalms and society today.' Rebecca S. Watson, Oxford, Theology, 01/11/2006--Sanford Lakoff "Theology "
