Waltke and Fred G. Zaspel 
Written over the course of 1,000 years, the book of Psalms is a collection of religious poetry voicing a wide variety of human emotions expressed in different genres-imprecatory psalms, psalms of praise, and more. It has become one of the most popular books of the Bible, but most readers have only a surface level understanding of the Psalms and how it fits into the larger historical and scriptural context.
In How to Read and Understand the Psalms, Bruke K. Waltke and Fred G. Zaspel give readers tools to learn how to properly interpret and internalize the Psalms. Developed primarily from decades of lectures by Waltke, they explain the various types of psalms, Hebrew poetry, rhetorical techniques, and more. Armed with these tools, believers will discover how the 150 psalms can further fuel their knowledge and love of God. 

- Developed Primarily from Lectures by Bruce K. Waltke: A renowned Old Testament scholar, Waltke taught on the Psalms for decades at Dallas Seminary, Regent College, Westminster Theological Seminary, Reformed Theological Seminary, and Knox Theological Seminary
- Ideal for Pastors, Teachers, and Students: Readers will be equipped to read, teach, and preach the Psalms with greater confidence 
- In-Depth: Waltke and Zaspel examine specific psalms verse-by-verse and explain the various ways the psalmists themselves convey their message and how their psalms should be read in light of the biblical canon]]></description><link>https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C16927301</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C16927301</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Waltke, Bruce K., Zaspel, Fred G.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/16927301981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781433584367/MC.GIF&amp;client=davia&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Proverbs]]></title><description><![CDATA[An abridged and revised version of Bruce Waltke's magisterial two-volume NICOT commentary on the book of Proverbs
Since 2004, Bruce Waltke's magisterial two-volume NICOT commentary on the book of Proverbs has been recognized as a definitive exegesis of the Hebrew text, groundbreaking in its illuminating analysis that the authors and redactors of Proverbs had organized their material into discernible clusters and groupings. Waltke and Ivan De Silva here offer an abridged and revised version of the preeminent commentary, which is more accessible to students, pastors, and Bible readers in general. In place of a technical analysis of the Hebrew text, Waltke and De Silva interpret the translated text, while also including their own theological reflections and personal anecdotes where appropriate. A topical index is added to help expositors with a book that is difficult to preach or teach verse by verse.
At its heart, this shorter commentary on Proverbs preserves the exegetical depth, erudition, and poetic insight of Waltke's original and maintains the core conviction that the ancient wisdom of Proverbs holds profound, ongoing relevance for Christian faith and life today.]]></description><link>https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C14028857</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C14028857</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Waltke, Bruce K., Ivan D.

Following in the style of their companion volumes, The Psalms as Christian Worship and The Psalms as Christian Lament, Bruce Waltke and James Houston now explore the depths of Christian praise. Each volume uniquely blends verse-by-verse commentary with a history of Psalms interpretation in the church from the time of the apostles to the present.
Since praise is the essence of the book of Psalms, Waltke and Houston have narrowed the focus to Book IV of the Psalter (Psalms 90-106), which magnify God and proclaim him king. To give voice to the psalmist, the authors (carefully) translate and explain each psalm and summarize its theological message. This is followed by listening to the voice of godly churchmen whose comments have stood the test of time. The Psalms as Christian Praise is ideal for anyone seeking to better understand the praise of Israel as found in the Psalms and how Christians also use these Psalms in worship.]]></description><link>https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C13755305</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C13755305</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Waltke, Bruce K., Houston, James M.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/13755305981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Historical Commentary</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781467457422/MC.GIF&amp;client=davia&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Genesis]]></title><description><![CDATA[This landmark commentary marshals the vast experience and brilliant insights of one of today's most revered Old Testament scholars. To those familiar with the work of Bruce K. Waltke, the significance and value of Genesis will be instantly apparent. Others who are unfamiliar with Waltke have only to read the first few chapters to understand why he has earned the reputation of a scholar's scholar, and why this masterful volume stands like a monolith among Old Testament commentaries. Exploring the first book of the Bible as "theological literature," Waltke illuminates its meanings and methods for the pastor, scholar, teacher, student, and Bible-lover. Genesis strikes an unusual balance by emphasizing the theology of the Scripture text while also paying particular attention to the flow and development of the plot and literary techniques--inclusion, irony, chiasm, and concentric patterning--that shape the message of the "book of beginnings". Genesis Models the way to read and interpret the narratives of the book of Genesis Provides helpful exegetical notes that address key issues and debates surrounding the text Includes theological reflections on how the message addresses our contemporary theological and social issues, such as ecology, homosexuality, temperance, evil, prayer, and obedience Addresses critical interpretive issues, such as authenticity, date, and authorship For all the author's formidable intellect and meticulous research, Genesis is amazingly accessible. This is no mere study tool. Lucidly and eloquently written, it is a work of the heart that helps us not only to understand deeply God's Word in its context, but also to consider how it applies to us today.]]></description><link>https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C12559865</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C12559865</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Waltke, Bruce K., Fredricks, Cathi J.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/12559865981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Commentary</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780310531029/MC.GIF&amp;client=davia&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Finding the Will of God]]></title><description><![CDATA[New edition of a popular, biblically based guidebook exploring God's will

Does the Bible teach Christians to "find" God's "special will" for their lives? No, it does not, says respected biblical scholar Bruce Waltke, contrary to much popular evangelical teaching. In this acclaimed book Waltke clearly distinguishes between pagan divination ("guessmancy") and solid, Bible-based guidance as he distills from Scripture a six-point program to help guide Jesus followers on their life journey.

This expanded and extensively rewritten second edition of Waltke's Finding the Will of God incorporates the best insights from many other books on guidance that have appeared since the first edition came out (2002), and it includes an entirely new chapter on learning to protect one's heart. This edition also features thoughtful questions for reflection at the end of each chapter.]]></description><link>https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C13751742</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C13751742</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Waltke, Bruce K.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/13751742981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Pagan Notion?</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781467445504/MC.GIF&amp;client=davia&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Psalms as Christian Lament]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Psalms as Christian Lament, a companion volume to The Psalms as Christian Worship, uniquely blends verse-by-verse commentary with a history of Psalms interpretation in the church from the time of the apostles to the present. Bruce Waltke, James Houston, and Erika Moore examine ten lament psalms, including six of the seven traditional penitential psalms, covering Psalms 5, 6, 7, 32, 38, 39, 44, 102, 130, and 143. The authors - experts in the subject area - skillfully establish the meaning of the Hebrew text through careful exegesis and trace the church's historical interpretation and use of these psalms, highlighting their deep spiritual significance to Christians through the ages.

Though C. S. Lewis called the "imprecatory" psalms "contemptible," Waltke, Houston, and Moore show that they too are profitable for sound doctrine and so for spiritual health, demonstrating that lament is an important aspect of the Christian life.]]></description><link>https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C13756784</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C13756784</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Waltke, Bruce K., Houston, James M., Moore, Erika]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/13756784981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781467440646/MC.GIF&amp;client=davia&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Dance Between God and Humanity]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Dance between God and Humanity brings together thirty-one articles written by Bruce Waltke, reformed evangelical professor of Old Testament and Hebrew, on fascinating topics in biblical theology including:

It is more than a portrait gallery of heroes of the faith. It is even more than a theological and prophetic backdrop to the New Testament. Beyond these, the Old Testament is inspired revelation of the very nature, character, and works of God. As renowned Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke writes in the preface of this book, the Old Testament's every sentence is "fraught with theology, worthy of reflection." This book is the result of decades of reflection informed by an extensive knowledge of the Hebrew language, the best of critical scholarship, a deep understanding of both the content and spirit of the Old Testament, and a thoroughly evangelical conviction. Taking a narrative, chronological approach to the text, Waltke employs rhetorical criticism to illuminate the theologies of the biblical narrators. Through careful study, he shows that the unifying theme of the Old Testament is the "breaking in of the kingdom of God." This theme helps the reader better understand not only the Old Testament, but also the New Testament, the continuity of the entire Bible, and ultimately, God himself.]]></description><link>https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C12562903</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C12562903</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Waltke, Bruce K., Yu, Charles]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/12562903981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780310863328/MC.GIF&amp;client=davia&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Psalms as Christian Worship]]></title><description><![CDATA[This commentary uniquely combines a verse-by-verse exposition of the Hebrew text of selected Psalms with a history of their interpretation in the Church from the time of the apostles to the present. / Bruce K.

Waltke's Commentary on Micah quickly distinguishes itself from other commentaries on this book by displaying an unprecedented exegetical thoroughness, an expert understanding of historical context, and a keen interest in illuminating the contribution of Micah to Christian theology. Tackling hard questions about date and authorship, Waltke contends that Micah himself wrote and edited the nineteen sermons comprising the book. Waltke's clear analytical outline leads readers through the three cycles of Micah, each beginning with an oracle of doom and ending with an oracle of hope, decisively showing that hope wins over doom.

Learned yet amazingly accessible, combining scholarly erudition with passion for Micah's contemporary relevance, this book will well serve teachers, pastors, and students alike.]]></description><link>https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C15012600</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C15012600</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Waltke, Bruce K.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://dcpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/15012600981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781467466141/MC.GIF&amp;client=davia&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
