In the house of the Lord : inhabiting the psalms of lament
"The Lord reigns over all in the world of the psalmist, and everything is alive with the presence of the Lord. Even the unspeakable, the sorrow of oppression, the terror at the unknown, the anguish of the unjustly wronged, find voices to lament, and these lamentations are transformed into a kind of praise." "What would it mean for us to inhabit the world of the psalmist? In the House of the Lord: Inhabiting the Psalms of Lament invites us to discover the answer to this question, and in so doing to enter a world which has long awaited our arrival."--BOOK JACKET
