Böcker av Derek Kidner

With imagination and clarity, Derek Kidner introduces the book of Ecclesiastes, an unusual book that nevertheless speaks powerfully to each generation. In this BST volume, Kidner reveals how the Preacher faces the fear that God is distant and nothing has meaning, and leads us to finally encounter the God who was present all along.

Genesis - the Bible's account of human origins and the harbinger of human destiny - is a book teeming with critical questions.

'The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.' 'Thy word is a lamp to my feet.' 'Search me, O God, and know my heart!'Such phrases leap to mind each time a Christian lifts his heart to God. For many, in fact, the Psalms are the richest part of the Old Testament. Derek Kidner provides a fresh and penetrating guide to Psalms 1 - 72. He analyses each psalm in depth, comments on interpretative questions and brings out the universal relevance of the texts. He also gives special help on the psalmists' cries for vengeance. Together with its companion volume (Psalms 73 - 150), both of which were formerly part of the Tyndale Old Testament Commentaries series, this introduction and commentary will inspire and deepen personal worship.
