SPANISH EDITION. El libro de los Salmos es, sin lugar a dudas, el mas conocido y el mas leido de todo el conjunto de escritos que integran la Sagrada Escritura. Sin embargo, su interpretacion hermeneutica no es precisamente facil, y su lectura da pie a innumerables preguntas: Quienes eran los "enemigos" en los Salmos de imprecatorios de suplica individual? Cuantos salmos reales hay y cual era el papel del Rey en el culto? Que hace que un salmo pueda ser considerado como sapiencial? Que era el llamado Festival de Otono y cual era su proposito? Como comparan los salmos con otros textos similares de la misma epoca? La variedad de composiciones, las cuales son el reflejo de diferentes situacions y estados de animo: suplica, individual or colectiva; alabanza y accion de gracias, individual o colectiva; salmos de confianza; salmos liturgicos; salmos reales; salmos sapienciales; salmos historicos, de peregrinacion; exigen, para su correcta interpretacion, un conocimiento profundo sobre la composicion del Salterio, su origen y ordenacion, sus autores, su datacion, sus circunstancas y su proposito.

John Day explores the psalms that appeal to God for curse or vengeance, and the relevant New Testament teaching, to offer a biblical defence of the appropriate use of 'cursing' in the context of Christian ethics and justice.

In recent years there has been a tendency among certain scholars to claim that little can be known about pre-exilic Israel, because the Old Testament was only compiled in the post-exilic period (for example Philip Davies, Thomas Thompson, Neils Peter Lemche). One scholar (Lemche) has even claimed that the Old Testament is a Hellenistic work. The purpose of this book is to argue that this is an extreme and untenable position and that, though much of the Old Testament was indeed edited in the exilic or post-exilic period, many of the underlying sources used go back to the pre-exilic period. When critically analyzed these sources can shed much light on the pre-exilic period. This important work is the product of a team of seventeen international scholars, no fewer than five of whom are Fellows of the British Academy. None of the chapters has previously been published.

This masterly book is the climax of over twenty-five years of study of the impact of Canaanite religion and mythology on ancient Israel and the Old Testament. It is John Day's magnum opus in which he sets forth all his main arguments and conclusions on the subject. The work considers in detail the relationship between Yahweh and the various gods and goddesses of Canaan, including the leading gods El and Baal, the great goddesses (Asherah, Astarte and Anat), astral deities (Sun, Moon and Lucifer), and underworld deities (Mot, Resheph, Molech and the Rephaim). Day assesses both what Yahwism assimilated from these deities and what it came to reject. More generally he discusses the impact of Canaanite polytheism on ancient Israel and how monotheism was eventually achieved.

The Psalms raise many difficult and controversial issues. Who are the enemies in the Individual Lament Psalms? How many Royal Psalms are there and what was the role of the king in the cult? What happened at the Autumn Festival? What makes a Psalm a Wisdom Psalm? Why are the Psalms arranged as they are and how far is it possible to date them? Can we make sense of the often obscure Psalm headings? What light is shed on the Psalms by other ancient Near Eastern texts? These and many other issues are judiciously evaluated by John Day in a wide-ranging volume.
