A treasure itself! Vaillancount is expert in biblical theology and the Psalms are indeed rich in that way. For some reason, I see this as a fine addendum to James Hamilton’s fine commentary on the Psalms in the EBTC series.
His Introduction whets the appetite for more and more is what we get. His chapters on reading Psalms canonically, as are what follows, are outstanding as they abound in both Structure and Theology. Throughout the text, specific psalms pop up and though he writes on a perceptible track you might not anticipate which psalm comes next. Fortunately, the scriptural index at the back of the book opens up this work to a whole additional approach. There’s good exegesis wherever he comments. You just can’t lose here.
Really, he opens up many pathways that you can begin and go even farther. When I do deep study on the Psalms, in addition to some favorite commentaries, I assure you this book will be in my “special” pile. This is the kind of book you don’t want to be without.
