\"\"Anyone who has been reading this blog (both of you) over the last year or so will have noticed a focus on the role of the Psalms in worship, both corporate and private. This arose from developments in my own life which corresponded with and were enhanced by a project I led at Union Univ<\/a>ersity<\/a>, funded by a Worship Renewal Grant from the Calvin Institute for Christian Worship<\/a> (here is a site devoted to that event<\/a>). Coming out of that event Richard Wells and I began working on a collection of essays designed to teach about and encourage the use of the Psalms in worship. Some traditions use the Psalms quite a bit, but many- including most Baptists- do not. It is our hope that this book might encourage people to reconsider and even rediscover the use of the Psalms.<\/p>\n

The book is now in production and is due out in October. It is already listed at Amazon for pre-order<\/a>. I have pasted in below the table of contents so you can see the contributors and their essays (some titles may be adjusted slightly in the final version).<\/p>\n
