Sigmund Mowinckel is widely recognized as one of the leading forces in Psalms research during the twentieth century. Indeed, the culmination of Mowinckel s thought and work, "The Psalms in Israel s Worship," continues to play a significant role in Psalms scholarship today. Not as well known are the seminal studies that prepared the ground for Mowinckel s later work, the six "Psalmenstudien" that are translated here into English for the first time. In these studies Mowinckel explores with care and in detail such topics as: "'Awen" and the Psalms of Individual Lament; YHWH s Enthronement Festival and the Origin of Eschatology; Cultic Prophecy and Prophetic Psalms; The Technical Terms in the Psalm Superscriptions; Blessing and Curse in Israel s Cult and Psalmody; and The Psalmists. Anyone interested in Psalms study, especially the possible role of the New Year s enthronement festival within Israel s cult and its relation to the Psalter, will find much to consider in these classic works."
