Title; Table of Contents; Acknowledgements; Abbreviations; Introduction; Part I: In Pursuit of Theological Interpretation; Chapter 1: Speech Act Theory; Chapter 2: Dual Authorship; Chapter 3: Speech Act Theory, Dual Authorship and Canonical Hermeneutics; Part II: Theological Interpretation and the Psalter; Chapter 4: The Divine Illocutions of the Psalter in Its Old Testament Context; Chapter 5: The Theological Interpretation of Imprecatory Psalms; Chapter 6: A Theological Interpretation of Psalm 137; Chapter 7: A Theological Interpretation Of Psalm 69; Conclusion; Bibliography.

Summary: Christian readers of the Hebrew Bible are often faced with a troubling tension. On the one hand, they are convinced that this ancient text is relevant today, yet on the other, they remain perplexed at how this can be so, particularly when parts of it appear to condone violence. Barker's volume seeks to address this tension in two parts: (1) by defending a particular form of theological interpretation and (2) by applying this interpretive method to the imprecatory psalms. Barker suggests that the goal of theological interpretation is to discover God's voice in the text. While he recognizes that.
