| Summary: | Seeks to elucidate the theological contribution made by the royal psalms of the Hebrew Bible prayers by or for a king of Northern Israel or Judah to ancient Israel's theological anthropology, looking most closely at the oracular endowments they preserve. Also struggles with some of the related problems, such as defining royal psalms precisely, determining which psalms are and are not royal, why they were included in the psalter, and how they functioned in society.
