In writing workshops, touchstone texts are high quality writing samples chosen to illustrate teaching points about compositional techniques, genre conventions, and literary style. Touchstone texts are models that continually repay close analysis. The Christian church likewise possesses core scriptural texts to which it returns, again and again, for illumination and guidance.
In this series, leading biblical scholars explore a selection of biblical touchstone texts from both the Old Testament and the New Testament. Individual volumes feature theological exposition . To exposit a biblical text means to set forth the sense of the text in an insightful and compelling fashion while remaining sensitive to its interpretive challenges, potential misunderstandings, and practical difficulties. An expository approach interprets the biblical text as a word of God to the church and prioritizes its applicability for preaching, instruction, and the life of faith. It maintains a focus primarily on the biblical text in its received canonical form, rather than engaging in historical reconstruction as an end in itself (whether of the events behind the text or the texts literary formation). It listens to individual texts in concert with the rest of the biblical canon.
Each volume in this series seeks to articulate the plain sense of a well-known biblical text by what Aquinas called attending to the way the words go ( salva litterae circumstantia ). Careful exegesis is pursued either phrase by phrase or section by section (depending on the biblical texts length and genre). Authors discuss exegetical, theological, and pastoral concerns in combination rather than as discrete moves or units. They offer constructive interpretations that aim to transcend denominational boundaries. They consider the use of these biblical texts in current church practice (including the lectionary) as well as church history. The goal of the series is to model expositional interpretation and thereby equip Christian pastors and teachers to employ biblical texts knowledgeably and effectively within an ecclesial setting.
Texts were chosen for inclusion partly in consultation with the authors of the series. An effort was made to select texts that are representative of various biblical genres and address different facets of the Christian life (e.g., faith, blessing, morality, worship, prayer, mission, hope). These touchstone texts are all widely used in homiletics and catechesis. They are deserving of fresh expositions that enable them to speak anew to the contemporary church and its leaders.

In this book I seek to resource the reader to understand Psalm 23 wellin and for the life of the church. This involves cultivating several practices, including developing the necessary tools of exegesis and interpretation and accessing the necessary reserves of theological and spiritual wisdom. For better or for worse I think of the first of these as drawing mostly upon my scholarly training and the second of these as drawing mostly upon my ministerial training, although each also strengthens and refines the other. One result is a book that seeks to speak with both scholarly and ministerial integrity about multiple aspects of reading Psalm 23. I have written for students and parishioners; essay writers and worshipers; scholars and ministers. I like to think that some readerslike myselfmay fit all these labels at once.
Psalm 23 is a familiar text to many, and some of the interpretive ground we will be covering may seem familiar too. But how and why we read the Bible the way we do is not always well understood. Thus I try to explain the interpretive moves we can and do make when we handle this particular touchstone text. One result is that the book might serve as a primer on questions that are helpful to explore in the task of reading any scriptural passage wisely, even while the main focus throughout is on Psalm 23.
