The Flow of the Psalms

Discovering Their Structure and Theology.

An study of the Psalms as an overarching redemptive-historical progression
rather than a random collection of unrelated poems

For centuries the book of Psalms has been read as a random collection of
individual poems with no discernible pattern of intentional arrangement.
Augustine referred to the organization of the psalms as a mighty mystery." " Recent Old Testament studies insist that each psalm is not to be interpreted in
view of its position in the overall book or by the psalms that border it. Yet
O. Palmer Robertson shows that there is a clear redemptive-historical
progression that develops throughout the five books of the psalms. In addition,
structural elements such as the placement of acrostic psalms, strategic
couplings of a Messianic psalm with a Torah psalm, and the grouping of psalms
by topics indicate an intentional structuring. The uncovering of these various
elements enables the lover of the psalms to get a grasp on the whole of the
Psalter along with a fuller appreciation of each individual psalm.

A courageous and thought-provoking proposal to read the Psalter afresh. " Palmer Robertson argues that the Psalms exhibit [...] an organized development
of thought progression from the beginning to the end. [...] His joy of
discovery is contagious. - Eric Peels"
