Know the Psalms as Never Before
For centuries, Christians have turned to the Psalms to teach them to pray, to worship, and to grow as disciples. This series from Christian Union extends you an invitation to deepen your experience of God through the Psalms. More than a typical Bible study, these volumes offer a devotional commentary that is more text focused and rigorous than most devotionals, but also more accessible and application oriented than a commentary. The result is a Bible study series that connects head and heart.
These studies provide an informed, responsible exegesis of the text, drawn from the best biblical scholarship and presented in an accessible and concise format. But they will take you way beyond intellectual knowledge. You'll find theological implications and personal applications drawn from the text in a way that goes beyond traditional commentaries. Every lesson will draw attention to what each passage teaches concerning God's character. The outcome is experiential knowledge.
