Roland E. Murphy feels that the psalms belong to us all and should therefore be accessible to us all. He has written The Psalms Are Yours so these psalms ca begin to speak richly and uniquely to each one of us. Murphy teaches us how to read a psalms; he stresses that we must read it not once, but several times. Then he invites our interpretation. Finally, in language that is easy to understand, Murphy provides us with commentary that indicates the existing different points of view in order to lead us into a deeper level of meaning in a text. We come away with a meaningful balance that incorporates a wide spectrum of issues and various historical background, and new enlightened personal insight.
