Theology from the Psalms The Story of God’s Steadfast Love C. Hassell Bullock After a lifetime of studying the Psalms, Hassell Bullock offers his mature understanding of their message, presenting a theological narrative of God’s steadfast love. “Anyone who preaches or teaches the Psalms will find treasures on every page.” —MICHAEL GRAVES, author of How Scripture Interprets Scripture “Rich and granular, engaging and stimulating, this book will reward anyone who dips into it. I recommend it enthusiastically!” —DAVID M. HOWARD JR., Bethlehem College and Seminary “ Theology from the Psalms really does crown Bullock’s forty years of studying, teaching, preaching, and writing on the Psalms. Read it, and be drawn into closer fellowship with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.” —MARK TALBOT, author of When the Stars Disappear: Help and Hope from Stories of Suffering in Scripture “Concise, readable, and insightful! Bullock has done the academy and the church a service in writing a book that shows the rich theology of the Psalms.” —BRIAN NEIL PETERSON, Lee University
