The Psalms are like a marked trail through life, showing that others have walked ahead and faced many of the challenges, temptations, heartaches, and perplexities that men will encounter on their journeys. Farrar shows that when a man begins to understand that the strong and caring hand of God is sovereign over everything in his life - including his trials and heartaches - his confidence, hope, and joy will increase dramatically in the God who created him and desires to use him.

How can an evangelical view of Scripture be reconciled with modern biblical scholarship?

Thilo Koch, gemeinsam mit Peter Otto, stellt sich in diesem Werk die Frage, ob die zehn Gebote des Alten Testaments auch heute noch als ein Grundgesetz der Menschheit funktionieren können - und ob sie es vielleicht sogar sind.
