About this book
Praise for this book
“One key to understanding and applying the Scriptures is knowing what kind of literature a particular passage is. The Psalms, sung by believers in God for millennia, are best understood as poetry, revealing the heartfelt emotions of the author (and the reader!), whether joy, praise, lament, bitterness, or even confusion. In this volume, Johannes van der Bijl has done a wonderful job of bringing this intimate nature of the Psalms back into view. We can only hope that one day his Sullivan is found.”
Bradley P. Roderick, Vice President of Academic Affairs, Trinity Anglican Seminary
Robert D. Anderson, Adjunct Faculty, Denver Seminary, Washington, DC
“I endorse Johannes W. H. van der Bijl as an author for Wipf & Stock. His (and his wife’s) background in ministry with people of different cultures gives him a unique perspective on communicating the Bible in unique ways. He has the heart of a pastor and seeks to put the song back into the hearts of those reading his work, which is solidly based on the Psalms and other Scriptures.”
Ryan Maike, Director, United Adoration
“Of Psalms and Songs and Poetry is a treasure trove of words, lyrically sharing thoughtful wisdoms and scriptural insights. Johannes’s settings of the Psalms call out imagery pointing to Jesus, his song lyrics beg to be sung and meditated on, and his poetry flows beautifully spoken out loud. I am particularly moved by ‘The Woven Years,’ a tapestry of a life lived which shares a philosophy on family and love that warms my heart.”
