Author Description

As the title indicates, this volume explores the structural relations of a short segment of the Psalter. There are two contributions that this volume makes to the field of Psalms study. Foremost is its contribution to the rhetorical-critical method of Psalms study. Howard's method is distinct in that his work is exhaustive, making use of the entire lexicon of the psalms under study. A second contribution of The Structure of Psalms 93-100 is its nature as a commentary. The translation, text notes, and notes on poetic structure can be consulted with profit even by those uninterested in questions of the organization and composition of the Psalter. - Back cover.
