Reseña del editor:

First published in 1976, The Cambridge Liturgical Psalter is a modern English-language version prepared for public and private worship by a panel of eight Hebrew specialists drawn from various Christian traditions, working over a period of six years and in collaboration with a single literary scholar who was conversant with the long tradition of translations into English of this ancient Biblical text. Excerpted in a Penguin classic, The Psalms in English (1996), as one of only two versions chosen to represent the twentieth Century, it went into six national prayer books, was bound up as The Liturgical Psalter in An Alternative Service Book 1980, and was authorised for use in various Churches world-wide. It remains a version licensed for use in the Church of England. The Cambridge Liturgical Psalter represents the best modern understanding of what is on occasions a very difficult Hebrew text. Recognized by Jews and Christians as a reliable translation, it is here published for the first time with Notes prepared by the Secretary of the original Hebrew panel to explain the reasoning behind their decisions. 'A masterly production' : JOHN CROOK, Professor of Ancient History, University of Cambridge. 'This is the version we should henceforth teach our children' : GORDON WAKEFIELD, Moderator of the United Reformed Church.

Biografía del autor:

Professor David Frost, the English translator (who worked with eight scholars of Hebrew from different Christian denominations), was a Fellow in English of St John's College, Cambridge and University Teaching Officer in the University of Cambridge, and subsequently Professor of English in the University of Newcastle, New South Wales. Since 2006 he has been Principal of the Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies, Cambridge. A scholar of Renaissance literature with a particular interest in Shakespeare and the dramatists of his day, he has also published poetry, short stories, and two novels, THE DEED'S CREATURE and A CHARMED CIRCLE. He lectures and broadcasts widely, now primarily on religious topics. He is also an actor, combining the roles of Lucifer and Herod in an Australian production of the Chester Mystery Plays and appearing regularly in public readings of great literature. He can be seen on You Tube, reading from Charles Dickens' CHRISTMAS CAROL in a Christmas Eve broadcast from the Cambridge University website, and he has recorded the whole of his translation of the Psalms as a book for the blind.
