Sujin Pak should be commended for this splendid monograph. Following in the methodological path of her doktorvater, David Steinmetz, Pak analyses the exposition of Psalms ii, viii, xvi, xxii, xlv, lxxii, cx and cxviii produced by Martin Luther, Martin Bucer and John Calvin. The study has four aims: (1) to examine how Protestants used the biblical commentary to set forth ‘specifically Protestant programs of theology and practice’ (p. 5); (2) to demonstrate a basic shift which Calvin introduces into the history of exegesis of these Psalms; (3) to focus attention on Christian-Jewish relations as exhibited in the biblical expositions of three prominent early modern expositors (within the confines of the debate between Aegidius Hunnius and David Pareus concerning whether Calvin's Old Testament exegesis is guilty of ‘judaizing’); (4) to comment on the question of Calvin as an exegetical ‘modern’ vis-à-vis the modern versus pre-critical question which has been a concern of many influenced by Steinmetz. Pak achieves these aims brilliantly, devoting a chapter to medieval exegesis of these Psalms, one to Luther, one to Bucer and two to Calvin, before drawing all the above-mentioned plotlines together in her conclusion. The work is scholarly, organised and clearly-written. It brings into clear relief the concerns which animated Calvin in his exegesis of the Psalms and which distinguish him from the exegetical tradition on the Messianic Psalms. It will be of interest to a wide range of groups, both early modern and contemporary scholars.
