Hidden in Plain Sight

Description

Hidden in Plain Sight is a short and accessible resource for those who would like to see what relevance the Psalms have for contemporary worship and life experience. Unlike most works on Psalms, this book concentrates on the lived experiences that lie behind them for ordinary worshippers. It is an ideal resource for a Lent or other church study or reading group.

With minimal scholarly apparatus, yet based on a thorough knowledge of scholarship, John Holdsworth introduces new lenses through which to view these records of what worship meant to ordinary people, and so, what it can mean for worshippers today. In the process, he questions many assumptions, challenges accepted views and invites readers to engage with the Psalms in a new and meaningful way.
