David used the Psalms in prayer. Jesus died with a psalm on his lips. For millennia, humans have been shaped by the Psalms. Before the Nazis banned him from publishing, German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer published his book, Psalms: The Prayer Book of the Bible. First published in 1940, this classic reveals how the Psalms are essential to the life of the believer and offers Bonhoeffer’s reflections on psalms of thanksgiving, suffering, guilt, praise, and lament. |
