Martin Luther once said, 'Many of the Fathers have loved and praised the Book of Psalms above all other books of the Bible. No books of moral tales and no legends of saints which have been written, or ever will be, are to my mind as noble as the Book of Psalms ...' Despite their richness, the Psalms also raise some interpretive challenges. How do we read such difficult passages as the one which advocates the violent destruction of one's enemies? Are we to ignore these and embrace only those that edify us? This collection of essays by renowned international scholars addresses such issues as the history and contemporary Lutheran and ecumenical interpretations of Psalms and provides valuable interpretive insights for theologians, biblical scholars, pastors, counselors and students. With contributions by Lubomir Batka, Andrea Bieler, Brian Brock, Hans-Peter Großhans, Elelwani B. Farisani, Jutta Hausmann, Anni Hentschel, Frank-Lothar Hossfeld, Craig R. Koester, Madipoane Masenya, Karl-Wilhelm Niebuhr, Urmas Nommik, Roger Wanke and Vitor Westhelle.
What is an exile? An Exile is a person who has been broken, regarded as useless and cast away. For too long we have been an instrument of hurt rather than healing. Should we b surprised a generation is leaving the Faith? The church again needs to become a powerful force for good in the world. "Have you ever felt like you just didn't fit in? Have you ever thought that everyone around you seems to have their act together, but you didn't? Has church brought more hurt than healing? Then 'The Exiles Next Door' will speak to your heart. Every pastor and church leader who desires to reach out to more than the 'cookie-cutter' Christians needs to consider what Sam shares in this book." -Dr. Cal Bodeutsch, Author of "Sometimes We Suffer," "Touching Heaven in Prayer," & "The Grace Way."
