Psalm 29, a sacred text in Jewish and Christian Bibles, has been understood in a variety of ways through time and in different traditions. This volume presents a sample of the use and meaning derived from a single biblical text. From the earliest translations to contemporary African Independent Churches, this psalm has been an integral part of synagogue and church; but what it has meant and how it is used is a fascinating journey through human culture. Not only the understanding of the written word, but also the liturgical use and the musical adaptations of a biblical text are considered here. This is a book for anyone - scholar, student, or laity - with an interest in the Bible in its many contexts.

'This anthology is successful in broadening awareness of the different perspectives and insights to be mined from various faith traditions, especially those different from that of the reader.[...]...a concrete example of biblical interpretation through the centuries.' Daniel Watson, The Expository Times, Volume 124, Number 5, February 2013'... Each essay was able to identify an assortment of difficulties in the psalm, showing how particular communities either smoothed over problematic areas, or adapted the psalm to fit their needs. [...] ...overall the volume accomplished what it set out to do; namely, give the reader a general sense of different interpretive environments throughout history, while at the same time allowing Psalm 29 to serve as an example of how these environments interacted with a specific text...' Andrew C. Witt, Reviews in Religion & Theology, Volume 20, Issue 2, March 2013.
