The Shaping of the Psalter

Augustine referred to the organization of the Psalms as a “mighty mystery,” but O. Palmer Robertson argues that there is a clear redemptive-historical progression throughout its five books. Hidden structural elements indicate a plan behind the Psalter, and understanding these enables the lover of the psalms to get a fuller appreciation of each one and of the book as a whole. This short introduction will help you to deepen your appreciation and understanding of the book’s message.
