Overview
The volume contains the acts of the Colloquium Biblicum Lovaniense on the Composition of the Book of Psalms that was held in Leuven on 5-7 August 2008. Together the forty-four essays, many of these by first-rank experts in the field, offer an impressive survey of current research on the Book of Psalms, which is here primarily studied as a composition in its own right. Several contributors discuss methodological issues and various theological and redactional aspects of the Book of Psalms as a whole. Others offer an analysis of larger sections of the Psalter or of a specific Psalm within the broader perspective of the Book. Among the contributors are J.-M. Auwers, W.P. Brown, B. Doyle, E.S. Gerstenberger, S.E. Gillingham, F. Hartenstein, F.-L. Hossfeld, B. Janowski, K. Seybold, H.U. Steymans, J. Trublet, H. van Grol, and Y. Zakovitch.
Erich Zenger, the President of the Colloquium and editor of the book wrote the opening address entitled Von der Psalmenexegese zur Psalterexegese . He was still fully engaged in correcting the proofs of the congress proceedings when he was overtaken by death. This volume is a tribute to him.
