Book Description

Publication Date: Oct 1 1998 | ISBN-10: 0865545790 | ISBN-13: 978-0865545793

Hermann Gunkel's commentary on Psalms (Die Psalmen, HKAT) - by many considered to be his magnum opus - was published in 1926. But he was unable to complete his final work on the Psalms. The severe suffering of his final months of life forced him to hand over his incomplete manuscript, at Christmastime 1931-1932, to his pupil Joachim Begrich. Gunkel died on 11 March 1932. Begrich put the final touches on the organization of Gunkel's last work on Psalms, and it was published in 1933 as Einleitung in die Psalmen: die Gattungen der religiosen Lyrik Israels.

Product Description

Review

"At last, 65 years after the German original, an English translation of one of the seminal works in modern Psalms study. This is a book which all students refer to but few ever read, and many tutors will be enormously grateful to Mercer for enabling them to direct their students back beyond the secondary literature to Gunkel's own presentation.

"The translation is generally very good. In particular, it succeeds (where many others fail) in rendering long and complex Germanic sentences into shorter and simpler English ones. Thus, the move from one scholarly culture and time to another is greatly facilitated....this is an essential reference for every library, and will allow many to appreciate the depth and nuances of Gunkel's work within its own scholarly context." -- Themelios Vol. 24:3
