The Rhythm of Bib- lical Lament presents lament as a vitally important gift of God for both individuals and communities. When properly incorpo- rated into the Christian life, biblical lament provides the tools for articulating gospel hope in a broken world. Author Ched Spellman explores the exegetical and theo- logical foundations of lament and demonstrates it as a practice not limited to times of suffering. He breaks down concepts and practices through various lenses, such as y exegesis of key psalms y surveys of Old and New Testament texts y theological reflection y systematic and historical theology y practical application The Rhythm of Biblical Lament is an accessible yet substan- tive introduction to this topic for students, pastors, Bible teach- ers, and Christian readers seeking to learn more about a faithful approach to lament. Ched Spellman (PhD, Southwestern Seminary) is professor of biblical and theological studies at Cedarville University. He is also the author of One Grand Story and coauthor of Invitation to Biblical Theology in Kregel’s Invitation to Theological Studies series.
