Review :
[Dunn] has provided a useful resource for further study of metaphoric approaches to the Psalms. Dunn takes up an important subject in the Psalter and astutely discusses its many variations and nuances. In a very helpful interpretive move, Steven Dunn broadens the definition of “sanctuary” beyond the Temple to include references to multiple “‘places’ where God is encountered.” For Dunn, “places” include the Temple, but also other spaces, objects, creational phenomena, and more. As he persuasively demonstrates, this approach makes the Book of Psalms something like a “literary sanctuary” that invites and facilitates ongoing experiences of God’s presence and power by readers in every generation. It is encouraging to see such careful interpretive work put in to the service of contemporary spirituality and discipleship. Accessibly written and scholarly informed, Steven Dunn's study captures the heart and soul of the Psalter: God's "sanctuary" presence, a paradoxical presence that is both concealed and conveyed in the Psalms. Remarkably wide-ranging, Dunn's treatment reveals in new ways the Psalms' relevance for contemporary practice.
