With an aim toward understanding and devotion, this collection of works by Samuel Terrien explores the complex meaning of the story of Job, provides a guide to the context and use of the Psalms, and examines the role of God’s presence as the main theme of Scripture. Terrien combines insight into text with a call for the church to respond in faith, worship, and prayer.
