A case for returning the Psalms to daily Christian practice

N. T. Wright examines the Psalms as the prayer and song collection central to early Christian worship, emphasizing their place in the religious world of Jesus and Paul. He presents these biblical poems as a framework for bringing anger, compassion, longing, and other human responses into prayer, while situating personal experience within the Bible’s larger account of salvation. The book combines an argument for renewed engagement with the Psalms and practical guidance for reading, studying, praying, and singing them as part of Christian life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Christians seeking to incorporate the Psalms more regularly into prayer and worship
  • Readers interested in Old Testament poetry and its role in Christian tradition
  • Bible-study groups exploring prayer, emotion, and salvation in the Psalms

Book overview

One of the world's most trusted Bible scholars, N. T. Wright turns his attention to the central collection of prayers that Jesus and Paul knew best: the book of Psalms. Wright points out that the Psalms have served as the central prayer and hymnbook for the church since its beginning--until now. In The Case for the Psalms, Wright calls us to return to the Psalms as a steady, vital component of healthy Christian living. Reading, studying, and praying the Psalms is God's means for teaching us what it means to be human: how to express our emotions and yearnings, how to reconcile our anger and our compassion, how to see our story in light of God's sweeping narrative of salvation. Wright provides the tools for understanding and incorporating these crucial verses into our own lives. His conclusion is simple: all Christians need to read, pray, sing, and live the Psalms.
