Synopsis

Theological and Devotional Reading of the Psalms through a New Testament Lens

The book of Psalms expresses our human experiences through its beautiful prose. But this Old Testament book is more than just relatable poetry—it reveals a rich theology of God, the nature and work of Jesus, and Christ's voice hidden in Scripture. The Psalms are the songs of the Son. But how can these songs point to Jesus if they were transcribed centuries before his life and death on the cross?

Songs of the Son explores nine psalms cited in Hebrews. Each chapter focuses on a single psalm—exploring its role in the argument of the Hebrews, uncovering the psalm's central themes, and then reexamining the psalm through the lens of Hebrews' interpretation. Ultimately, listeners will gain a better understanding of the Psalter and discover how all Scripture, including the Old Testament, reveals the preincarnate glory of Christ.

Good devotional intro to Christ in the Psalms and Hebrews. Stevens’s intention to show the Psalms pointing to Christ was admirable and sometimes helpful, but left much to be desired. His arguments weren’t very developed and much of his commentary felt like “evanjellyfish” fluff. Overall decent, but......more

Goodreads review by Josh on May 28, 2025

An excellent homiletical and pastoral reading of the psalms that are used in the book of Hebrews. Stevens gives careful attention to each psalm in its original context, then its function in Hebrews, and finally back to the psalm again to learn how to appropriately read the Psalms Christologically.

Goodreads review by Pam on May 26, 2025

I ordered this book after hearing the author on a podcast. I'm so glad I did. Later, I bought three more to share and will probably buy more. Stevens shares how Christ appears and even speaks in the Psalms, and he does so in beautiful, clear language. His love for the Lord shines on every page.......more
