Praises for the King of Kings

by Walter J. Chantry

Walter Chantry invites us to share in meditation on the person of Christ and his work through the study of three psalms which focus our gaze on different aspects of his grace, majesty, and glory. Thus in Psalm 2, we are introduced to a philosophy of life; in Psalm 110, we are given a vision of the coronation of Christ; in Psalm 45 we catch a glimpse of Christ in the glory of his return.

Solid, biblical. I have benefitted greatly from Walt Chantry's books. And this book is good, theologically sound, wholesome, reformed and devotional. But it really isn't written in a way that grips the Christian reader. Sometimes it does feel like lots of Bible verses strung together, to be really honest. I feel bad. I feel I ought to give at least 4 stars to any thoroughly evangelical book. It's good, but it's just not his best. I'd read it if I'm preaching on Psalm 2, 110 or 45. But as he is specifically dealing with messianic psalms, it would have been so helpful to give some understanding of what constitutes messianic literature as a genre in scripture, and how we should approach it, and the limits of typology etc. The danger for the preacher then is to run off into a typology which is unjustified. So, it's OK for devotional reading but even then not heart-warming for me at least. Others may disagree.

A masterful collection of 3 expositions. Walter always does well with his small titles. Wonderful, truly wonderful!
