VIEWING THE PSALMS THROUGH THE LENS OF THEOLOGY: RESEARCH TRENDS IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY.

- Abstract
Psalms studies have undergone significant changes in the past century. From Gunkel’s form criticism to Wilson’s canon criticism, scholars have alternated between focusing on individual psalms and focusing on the whole Psalter as the key to interpretation. A corollary to these changes has emerged in studies of the theology of the Psalms. This article analyzes how these changes have influenced approaches to the theology of the Psalter since 2000. Seven interpretive methods attending to the Psalter’s theology have blossomed in the twenty-first century: the Psalter as structured theology, central themes, individual psalms and psalm groups, reception history, sacrament/liturgy, single center, and pluralistic theologies. This article assesses these developments, along with a few challenges, and proposes paths for future studies in the theology of the Psalms.
