Description
This volume illustrates how Targum Psalms creatively interprets selected psalms and how those interpretations relate to other Jewish and Christian traditions, including early translations of the psalms, rabbinic Midrashim, the New Testament and early Church Fathers. The study of these Psalms suggests viewing Targum Psalms as a creative partner in the world of biblical interpretation, as opposed to a compilation of already existing midrashic material. Edwards portrays the Targum as a link between the written and oral Torah that leads its readers on a path to tradition.

Person
Timothy Edwards is a young writer from South Carolina. Born to domestic missionaries to the U.S. Military, he has been blessed to meet a massive variety of people and travel all across the U.S. With a relentless energy and an inseparable family, he was able to grow up in an environment that is rarely seen today. His love for writing and lyrics was slowly birthed in the midst of trying times for him, his family, and his friends. Through trials and triumphs, aching, and accolades, Timothy learned more about life than he ever bargained for, and he hopes to encourage people with the same messages that bring him peace to this day.
