Psalms in an Age of Distraction Experiencing the Restorative Power of Biblical Poetry Ethan C. Jones Foreword by Elizabeth Robar In our current age of distraction, the Psalms, as a rich collection of poems, remain ready to train our ears, steady our hearts, and teach us to pray and to extend our imagination so that we might flourish. “Readers can expect to find in these pages suggestive connections between the imaginative claims of faith and the day-to-day reality of our common life.” —Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary “Refreshing, prophetic, and strikingly relevant to the age we live in.” —Malcolm Guite, Girton College, Cambridge “A fascinating reclamation of ancient biblical poetry for a contemporary set- ting.” —Susan Gillingham, Worcester College, University of Oxford (emeritus)
Ethan C. Jones , PhD, is associate professor of Old Testament and Hebrew and Don and Helen Bryant Chair of Old Testament at New Orleans Baptist Theologi- cal Seminary.
