It may seem odd to think of Psalms as a book with a beginning, middle and end. We tend to think of individual psalms and continually return to our favourites as we seek God amidst the challenges of life. There is, however, growing evidence that the Psalter is more than a collection of individual psalms; rather it is a carefully arranged whole.

Praying By the Book makes some of the best recent work on the Psalter accessible in order to deepen and strengthen our use of the psalms. It shows how our reading of the individual psalms is greatly enriched by taking note of the shape of the book of Psalms as a whole.
