Episode Notes

Both the direct fulfillment and typological fulfillment approaches are very popular. Here are some resources that are a good place to begin.

A comprehensive typological approach to most of the messianic Psalms can be found in Richard Belcher’s The Messiah and the Psalms. 

For direct fulfillment:



* Derek Kidner’s Psalms 1-72 and Psalms 73-150. Kidner sees some typology, but in the case of Psalm 22 for example, he sees it directly speaking of Jesus.



For prosopological fulfillment:



* Patrick Henry Reardon’s Christ in the Psalms.

To learn more, consider the following resources:

For historical fulfillment, there are many critical commentaries. John Goldingay’s set contains very good scholarship that nonetheless argues that the NT authors misinterpret the Psalms.



* John Goldingay: Psalms 1-41; Psalms 42-72; Psalms 73-150



For allegorical fulfillment, the early church provides many examples:



* Psalms 1-50 and Psalms 51-150 in the Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture series.

Psalmcast S02E01: Songs of the End Times

Is the Psalter merely a collection of ancient worship songs? If that is so, why have most Jews and Christians throughout history interpreted the Psalms as prophetic?

Episode Notes

As far as I know, David C. Mitchell’s The Message of the Psalter gives the best historical survey of how the Psalms were interpreted throughout history.
