The Psalms of David: Theological Tokens

By Richard Rolle

In his Comments on the Psalms, he sees Christ throughout. Christ's union with His Church, and His abiding in holy souls therein, are His perpetual theme. His birth, His passion, His resurrection, and His present and future reign over His saints are brought in to shed light upon obscure passages and are evidently the habitual subject of the writer's thoughts. The eternal separation between the righteous and the wicked is constantly in his mind. At the same time, he is free from the abnormal doctrines and political extravagances that vitiated the teaching of the Lollards. The efficacy of the sacraments and the functions of the priesthood are fully recognized. Wicked princes and worldly prelates and pastors are unhesitatingly condemned, but no hint is given that their authority is impaired or their acts invalidated by their want of grace. To date, this presentation is the only complete modern English translation, with variant accompanying notes regarding issues Rolle addresses and that arise in the translation. This effort is a must for all theologians and medieval historians alike.
