Prayer, Praise and Prophecy: A Theology of the Psalms
Publisher's Description
In the Garden of Eden, God walked with Adam and Eve face to face—then the fall separated us. The Psalms are God's gift to us to help reestablish contact, understand his mind and how to connect with him.
This is not a commentary on the Psalms, instead, Geoffrey Grogan seeks to introduce us to some of the theological dimensions of this important and much love bible book such as:
- How have the Psalms been interpreted throughout History?
- Who wrote them and is there a Purpose in their structure?
- What were they used for and how should we use them today?
- What do they teach us about God?
About the Author
Dr Geoffrey W. Grogan died on Wednesday 31st August 2011. He was Principal Emeritus of Glasgow Bible College before it became International Christian College, Glasgow. His theological studies were undertaken there and at the London Bible College. He served the College as a full-time lecturer for fourteen years before going south in 1965 to teach at LBC. In 1969 he returned to Glasgow as principal. He has served on four missionary councils, on the Strathclyde Education Committee and the Management Committee for the Cambridge University Diploma in Religious Studies. He has written books on the Trinity, the Person of Christ, Paul, the Psalms and commentaries on Isaiah, Mark and 2 Corinthians. He had also been a part-time pastor in a Baptist Church.
Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“Geoffrey Grogan has given us a marvelous handbook to the Psalms. He does not tack on theological themes at the end but places them front and center, at the heart of the book, forcing us to face the God of the psalms. He has digested a mass of Psalms research and yet releases it in the most palatable and useful doses. I profited immensely from his treatment of the literary design of the Psalter; he helps us see in the Psalms a consciously coherent work (in five books) rather than random bits of poetry. If I were teaching a course on the Psalms, this would be my textbook.

“Combines sound scholarship, illuminating insight, thoughtful reflection with a faithful concern for highlighting the pastoral relevance of the Book of Psalms to the Christian's life in the real world.”
Eryl Rowlands

“Geoffrey Grogan's name is sufficient to guarantee a quality work, a high doctrine of Scripture and impeccable scholarship. This very full introduction to the Book of Psalms makes one hope that the author has in mind a full-scale commentary to follow.”
Alec Motyer
Bible expositor and commentary writer
“Written with both clarity and conviction, this study offers many fresh insights, while throughout affirming passionately the great central truths of the Christian faith.”
T Desmond Alexander

“This is a volume that is written with reverence, care and clarity, and is a significant addition to evangelical literature on the Psalms.”
