Summary:

"The book of Psalms is the most diverse book of the Bible. Its dialogue comes from the deepest depths of the soul. Sometimes it's difficult to relate the message of the Psalms to the rest of the Hebrew Bible. In Deep Calls to Deep, William P. Brown examines how the Psalms counter, complement, and transform biblical tradition and themes. From creation and law to justice and wisdom, he shows us how these critical issues are not only biblical; they are relevant to the crises of today and relate to our day-to-day walk with God"-- Provided by publisher.
