Songs of the Son: Reading the Psalms with the Author of Hebrews

Theological and Devotional Reading of the Psalms through a New Testament Lens

The book of Psalms expresses our human experiences through its beautiful prose. But this Old Testament book is more than just relatable poetry--it reveals a rich theology of God, the nature and work of Jesus, and Christ's voice hidden in Scripture. The Psalms are the songs of the Son. But how can these songs point to Jesus if they were transcribed centuries before his life and death on the cross?

Songs of the Son explores 9 psalms cited in Hebrews. Each chapter focuses on a single psalm--exploring its role in the argument of the Hebrews, uncovering the psalm's central themes, and then reexamining the psalm through the lens of Hebrews' interpretation. Ultimately, readers will gain a better understanding of the Psalter and discover how all Scripture, including the Old Testament, reveals the preincarnate glory of Christ.
