Críticas

"In its favor, the book is easily read and accessible to students of the Psalms in all walks of life. A love of the Psalms that seems to encourage others to take time with these texts comes through Murphy's writing. "The Gift of the Psalms" would be a useful addition to a church library and a good text to use in studying the Psalms in a congregational setting. For the pastor and students engaging in regular study of the Psalms and sermon preparation, this would be a good supplemental text. In general, Murphy's book is a good read for those who are making a beginning journey or a return trip to the world of the Psalms." --"Lexington Theological Quarterly"
