Remarkably enough, there is a scarcity of modern commentaries on the
Psalms for the more general reader, though after the Gospels, they are
probably the most widely-read part of the Bible. No one is more
qualified to write on the Psalms than John Eaton. He is a
distinguished Old Testament scholar and has spent a lifetime studying
the Psalms. This commentary is addressed to the wide readership. There
is a long and highly readable introduction giving a background to the
Psalms; then follow the 150 Psalms, each in Eaton's translation. He
explains the background to the Psalms and their content in a way that
makes them interesting and relevant to the present. The discussion of
each psalm ends with a related Christian prayer, either from the
tradition or written by Eaton himself. John Eaton is recognized as one
of the world's leading experts on Psalms: this commentary is the
culmination of his life's work. John Eaton lectured in Old Testament
at the University of Birmingham until his retirement. He is the author
of many books, especially on aspects of the Psalms.
