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.

Episode Notes
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.

To learn more, consider the following resources:
* David C. Mitchell’s The Message of the Psalter for a fantastic survey of how the Psalms were interpreted throughout history.
* Robert Jewett: “David, ‘Being Therefore a Prophet…’ (Acts 2:30).” The Catholic Biblical Quarterly 34.
* Matthew Bates’ The Birth of the Trinity for a dense but important study on how the apostles found Jesus in the OT.

Psalmcast S02E01: Songs of the End Times
