Psalms, Books 4–5 (Wisdom Commentary, #22)
by Nancy deClaisse-Walford
2021 Catholic Media Association Award second place award in academic studies In this close reading of Psalms 90–150, Nancy L. deClaissé-Walford discovers meanings in the Psalms that were “there all along” but hidden beneath layers of interpretation built up over the centuries.

Qoheleth (Studies on Personalities of the New Testament) (Studies on Personalities of the Old Testament)
by James L. Crenshaw
Rarely does a biblical book evoke admiration from a Nobel laureate in literature, a newspaper columnist, a prize-winning poet, and a popular songwriter. Ecclesiastes has done that, and for good reason. Its author, who called himself Qoheleth, stared death in the face and judged all human endeavours to be futile. For Qoheleth observation is the only avenue to understanding; an arbitrarily wrathful and benevolent deity created and rules over the world; and death is unpredictable, absolute, and fin...
Is the Bible at Fault?
by Jerry Pattengale, PhD, Daniel Freemyer, and Nicholas DeNeff
Psalms 51-150 (Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture)
The Psalms have long served a vital role in the individual and corporate lives of Christians, expressing the full range of human emotions, including some that we are ashamed to admit. The Psalms reverberate with joy, groan in pain, whimper with sadness, grumble in disappointment, and rage with anger. The church fathers employed the Psalms widely. In liturgy they used them both as hymns and as Scripture readings. Within them they found pointers to Jesus both as Son of God and as Messiah. They als...
On Femininities in the Song of Songs and Beyond (The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies)
by Vita Daphna Arbel
Vita Daphna Arbel uses critical theories of gender to offer an alternative reading of the multilayered conceptualization of the Song of Song's feminine protagonist: "the most beautiful woman". Arbel treats "the most beautiful woman" as a culturally constructed and performed representation of "woman," and situates this representation within the cultural- discursive contexts in which the Song partly emerged. She examines the gender norms and cultural ideologies it both reflects and constructs, and...
