DESCRIPTION:
Following a year of study at Princeton Theological Seminary in 1826, Plumer began a very active and diverse ministerial career.During the first several years of Plumer's ministry he helped organize and found churches in Danville, Virginia and Warrenton, North Carolina. He assisted a congregation in Pottsville, 1865-66, at which time he received appointment to serve as Professor of Didactic and Polemic Theology at Columbia Theological Seminary in Columbia, South Carolina. His writings, while profoundly theological in nature, are very practical in focus. . Plumer relocated to the Philadelphia area in the mid-1860s. He served in this position until 1875, when he was transferred to the chair of Historic, Casuistic, and Pastoral Theology. Born in Griersburg, Pennsylvania, Plumer would graduate from Washington College in Virginia in 1825. After eight years of ministry with the congregation there, Plumer became pastor of a church in Al

Hoge, 'were the tender pleadings of a soul in communion with God.' Of the place which the Psalms had in his own experience he writes: 'During a Christian and ministerial life, neither short, uneventful, nor free from dark days and sharp sorrows, the author has never been able to secure to himself, or administer to others, full support and abounding consolation without a resort to the Psalms.'. In 1211 pages he gives both exposition and doctrinal and practical remarks and presents in readable form a great wealth of material drawn from all the leading commentators who had gone before him. Plumer's Commentary avoids this defect, the author believing that from the Psalms 'piety has derived more nourishment than from any other source,' and that his work should serve that same purpose. A Critical and Expository Commentary with Doctrinal and Practical RemarksAlthough more than six hundred commentators have written on the Psalms, it has long been difficult to find a comprehensive treatment of this book of Scripture in one volume. Some expositions have excelled in scholarship, but, unlike the Psalter, in instructing the mind they have failed to exercise the heart. Dr. He produced his exposition of the Psalms during the prime of life, and, as he tells us, 'never felt more disposed to any work.'

Excellent Commentary Spelunker This is an excellent devotional commentary - I purchased it over 20 years ago and would highly recommend it. Good word study as well.. "A Great Devotional Commentary on the Psalms" according to George W Prescott. Written by a nineteenth century American Old School Presbyterian, this is truly one of the finest devotional commentaries on the Psalms available. The comment by an earlier reviewer is correct - technical issues such as our understanding of Biblical Hebrew do require a more current commentary to address the technical aspects. For those, however, who either do not wish to get involved with the technical aspects of the Hebrew or have no need to do so, this will be a entry into the great spiritual treasures of
