Publisher's Synopsis
"The mission of Timeless: Ancient Psalms for the Church Today is to encourage the practice of reading, studying, and singing the Psalms through fresh musical compositions, new translations and commentaries, seminars, and multi-media resources.This mission grew out of the recognition that reading, studying, and singing psalms, which once was common practice for Christians, has decreased over the last century. Because the Psalter instructs Christians in the words and movement of worship, Mark Shipp initiated a project to set the psalms to music over a decade ago. The result is a multi-volume psalter, centered on new songs that are not only beautiful but also faithful to the message and theology of the psalm. The inclusion of new translations, commentary, and reflection by Old Testament scholars make these volumes unique and particularly suited for personal worship and devotions, as well as corporate worship"--.
