"""Peter Ho has made an important and durable contribution to our understanding of the shape and structure of the Psalter. . . . He shows how messianic and eschatological accents are compelling in Christian interpretation. I anticipate that Ho's book will be an important reference point for future work."" --Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary ""Since the late 1980s, the canonical approach to the Psalter has, arguably, reinvigorated Psalms studies in the academy. This method looks at the links between psalms which result in contextual groupings within the broader anthology. . . . To be honest, it is high time that someone wrote this book, and Ho's careful, thorough, and creative study provides a great service to both church and academy."" --Jamie A. Grant, Vice-Principal (Academic), Highland Theological College UHI ""With this work, Peter Ho has made an important contribution to studies of the editorial shaping and message of the Psalter. After a thorough review and evaluation of the recent literature on the subject, he then analyzes different ways of coming at the issue, creatively employing several (not just one) in his own quest. This is a convincing argument for the primacy of the Davidic covenant in the Psalter's message."" --David Howard, Professor Emeritus, Bethel University"
