Timeless

Timeless is a “Psalter/Commentary,” combining in-depth study of the Psalms with worship in song. The present volume, encompassing Psalms 1–41 (“book one” of the book of Psalms), is the first of three projected volumes. Volume Two will incorporate books two and three of the book of Psalms (Psalms 42–89). The final volume will incorporate books four and five of the Psalter (Psalms 90-150). The intent of this series is not to produce heavily technical volumes. Rather, they are intended for use by church leaders, ministers, informed lay persons, and Bible teachers to obtain basic understanding of some of the concerns and issues found in a particular psalm, and go from there to worship in song as an application of the psalm for the present day.

Timeless has been, from its inception, an ecumenical and international project. While having its origin in the a cappella tradition of Churches of Christ, our conviction is that all Christian communions share the original hymnbook of the second temple and the Church. We have, therefore, solicited commentaries, compositions, and lyrics from Methodists, Presbyterians, Baptists, Pentecostals, Roman Catholics, and others.

The entries for each psalm in Timeless consist of two sections: the Commentary and Psalter sections.
