A Canonical Exegesis of the Eighth Psalm

A Canonical Exegesis of the Eighth Psalm, Volume 1, is a scholarly work of biblical criticism and interpretation. Hubert James Keener examines the methodology of canonical exegesis, a theological approach that treats the canon as the primary context for understanding Christian Scriptures. This study focuses on the Old Testament poetical books, specifically applying these interpretive principles to the complex themes found within Psalm 8.

The text analyzes how YHWH maintains the created order through divine intervention and the exaltation of the humble. Keener explores the tension of the conflicted human and the intertextual connections between the Old and New Testaments. By integrating the trajectory of the redeeming Christ, this volume of biblical interpretation provides a comprehensive answer to the fundamental question of human nature and redemption.
