Although often recited, it is not usually a subject of in-depth study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this addition to the Touchstone Texts series, highly regarded Old Testament scholar Stephen Chapman provides a detailed, engagingly written exposition of the Priestly Blessing as well as a broader exploration of blessing in the Old Testament. He explores the historical and liturgical use of the Priestly Blessing in the Jewish and Christian traditions and discusses key issues related to the practice of blessing within contemporary Christianity. His interpretation of the Priestly Blessing highlights the importance of the divine name and the way the blessing offers a vision of religious faith as \"name bearing.\" Chapman's volume will be a helpful resource for pastors and seminarians and an important reminder to all Christians of the centrality of blessing to the life of faith.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThe Touchstone Texts series addresses key Bible passages, making high-quality biblical scholarship accessible to the church.
