What Our Customers Say...

Description

Leather Binding, Very Scarce

Bound in a full calf binding. This is a very scarce complete two-volume set. In this insightful and devotional commentary, Bishop George Horne examines the Psalms first in their literal and historical sense, relating to King David and ancient Israel, before exploring their deeper Christological, ecclesiastical, and personal applications for Christian life and worship. George Horne (1730–1792), Bishop of Norwich and President of Magdalen College, Oxford, was celebrated for his eloquence and theological depth. His Commentary on the Psalms stands as one of his most enduring and widely respected works.
