William D. BarrickMost students for whom this series is intended will find Futato's introduction to the basics of Hebrew poetry refreshingly lucid.
Bruce Waltke, Professor Emeritus of Biblical StudiesFutato takes his student by the hand through the complexities of Hebrew poetry, soars high to get a bird’s eye view of the book and its themes, returns to earth and deftly guides through the thorny patch of textual criticism, gives ‘Aha’ moments in explaining form criticism and how the Psalter’s categories refer to Christ, and ends with practical pointers on how to preach the book. Next time I teach the Book of Psalms this will be my text.
