Does the Psalter have a unified theme or message? Davy Ellison says, “Yes!” In his new book Hope for a New David in the Psalter's Narrative Impulse: Reading the Psalms as Utopian Literature (Fortress Academic, 2025), he argues that the Psalter’s narrative impulse sustains expectations of a better future by assuring readers that one day Zion will be glorified, enemies vanquished, and the Davidic dynasty embodied in a new Davidic king.
Join us as we speak with Davy Ellison about his book, Hope for a New David in the Psalter’s Narrative Impulse.
Davy Ellison is director of training and lecturer in Old Testament at the Irish Baptist College in Northern Ireland.
