14. Bibliographic note
A good place to begin general reading and research on the Psalms I in the many Bibledictionaries and encyclopedias, as well as the one-volume Bible commentaries. In addition,every Old Testament Introduction (Harrison, Childs, etc.) will have a section of the Psalms. Allgood commentaries will also have an introductory section on the book.
These are valuable reference sources, and at least one or two should be consulted for ageneral introduction to Psalms study.
