Biblical Studies

At last, a series of meditations on the Psalms which avoids the sentimentality of most contemporary works, yet steers clear of the arid wasteland of modern higher critical academia. Lively, and highly devotional, this book sheds a world of insight upon the beloved Scriptures- the world of the Early Church,and of the Apostles themselves, who constantly used and referred to the Psalms in their own writings. Father Patrick Reardon is a convert from the Episcopal Church, a pastor, editor, writer, and educator, as well as an avid student of the Holy Scriptures. You will find his grasp of the Psalms, and his application to modern life via the lens of the Church's traditional understanding, both captivating and deeply convicting.

This is a substantial work on a most difficult prophetic book. Pentiuc probes carefully and thoroughly into the many problems of interpretation Hosea poses, grammatical and textual, historical, literary, and theological. And he does so drawing on a very wide acquaintance with the ancient sources, both Biblical and non-Biblical, and with classical and modern scholarship, all in a variety of languages. Particularly valuable, indeed a distinctive contribution of Pentiuc?s work, is the extensive use of the commentaries of the ancient Church Fathers on Hosea. As Pentiuc shows, these remain fresh and provocative, offering readers a rich array of insights, especially into the meaning of Hosea for the nature of God and His ways with humanity.
