Reading and Preaching the Psalms Chronologically and Canonically with Wyatt Graham
Description
Are the Psalms individual isolated poems that have no connection to one another, or are they a unified, edited story that we are supposed to notice? Wyatt Graham answers these questions and more in this conversation about how to think deeply about the Psalms, and what sort of connections should we expect to see from one chapter to the next.
Currently, he serves as the executive director of the Gospel Coalition Canada. He has spoken in a variety of ecclesial and academic settings and regularly writes a column called DeTrinitate for TGC Canada on the intersection of life and theology. He is married to Leanne, and they have one daughter and one son. Follow him on Twitter (@wagraham) and Instagram (@wyattagraham).

Psalmcast podcast
I recorded this several years ago but am still pretty happy with it all!
Robertson, The Flow of the Psalms
The best introduction to reading the Psalms as a book. Great place to start.
Rydelnik and Blum (eds.) The Moody Handbook of Messianic Prophecy
The Psalms essays are top-notch and closest to my view from anything I've read.
Jim Hamilton's Psalms Vol 1 and Vol 2 (EBTC, forthcoming)
Though Hamilton is heavy on typology, his is the best commentary that reads the Psalms as a book.
Reardon, Christ in the Psalms
He reads Jesus in every Psalm in the tradition of the Fathers. Quite devotional though and he doesn't defend his approach enough to convince the skeptical.
On that note, Irenaeus' On the Apostolic Preaching, Augustine's Psalms commentaries, and Athanasius' To Marcellinus on the Interpret
