Drawing from zooarchaeology, paleoanthropology, and animal studies, as well as employing the best of Psalms scholarship, Arthur Walker-Jones offers a rich interdisciplinary study of Psalms 42-72. It is one of the most sophisticated yet engagingly written commentaries in the Earth Bible Commentary series to date. After reading Walker-Jones's commentary, you will not read the Psalms the same way ever again.

The subtitle of Psalms Book Two: An Earth Bible Commentary-As A Doe Groans-points to the unique emphasis that Arthur Walker Jones gives to this ecological commentary on Psalms 42-72. He characterizes animals as co-evolved and hence his interdisciplinary and intersectional studies bring the same interpretive lens to humans and animals in his eco-critical reading of the Book of Psalms 42-72. A unique approach in the series to date.

Psalms Book 2, An Earth Bible Commentary is a unique and useful tool for serious students of psalm studies … It provides valuable insight into various aspects of the images one encounters in those psalms, particularly animal imagery in the psalms under consideration. Walker-Jones writes compelling well and makes use of abundant and relevant scholarly works that give the serious scholar a new and unique insight into the psalms in book 2 of the Psalter.
