The present volume contains Adrienne von Speyr’s meditations on 18 representative Psalms. Although not a work of conventional exegesis, it is characterized by a painstaking attention to the letter of the biblical texts. The Psalms, Adrienne shows, are enacted theological anthropology. They are an existential display of the nature and purpose of man, which is to “do the beautiful,” for “it is beautiful to sing” to the Lord and praise his name.
