It is argued that if this were so, the work of the final editors would not have been confined to arranging the psalms in a particular order but would have included additions and interpolations intended to give the whole book a new orientation. An investigation of selected psalms shows that although the Psalter may have become a book for private devotion not long after its compilation, there is little evidence that it was compiled for that purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45085977411735,"sku":"9781850757979","price":4973.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781850757979.webp?v=1767265608","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/reading-the-psalms-as-a-book-9781850757979","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
