, 2006

Overview

Dr. Sherman chooses eleven psalms to expound upon that cover typical themes that run throughout the entire book of Psalms. These themes are giving thanks, following God, confession and forgiveness, and blessings. He includes six proverbs that focus on different aspects of wisdom. Isaiah, he tells, us was written to encourage a discouraged, humiliated people. It is about hope, promise, and deliverance. Jeremiah, too, is about hope, preceded by despair. Sherman gives us gems of truth gleaned from the Minor Prophets; he takes Amos personally, for example, contending that the prophet clearly speaks to American Christianity, holding up a mirror to see how we reflect Jesus.
