An interview with Dr. Daniel Stevens regarding his newly published book, Songs of the Son: Reading the Psalms with the Author of Hebrews. A brief Q&A will follow the interview.
Dr. Stevens grew up in Los Angeles, California, where he lived until beginning doctoral study at Cambridge. Before coming to Boyce College, Stevens taught Greek language and literature at The Master’s University and Seminary, and at the University of Cambridge, where he also supervised undergraduates across most areas of New Testament study. At Boyce, Stevens will continue this pattern and teach courses on Greek as well as all books of the New Testament. Most recently, he served as the director of the Scholars Initiative at the Museum of the Bible, in Washington, DC, where he oversaw the research programs of the museum. Stevens’ research interests include the Epistle to the Hebrews, Greek language, the manuscripts of the New Testament, and the Greek commentary tradition. He has work published or forthcoming in The Journal of Biblical Literature, New Testament Studies, Tyndale Bulletin, and Foundations. On a popular level, Stevens has also published articles in Christianity Today, Logos Academic Blog, and The Museum of the Bible Magazine.
“The book of Psalms expresses our human experiences through its beautiful prose. But this Old Testament book is more than just relatable poetry—it reveals a rich theology of God, the nature and work of Jesus, and Christ’s voice hidden in Scripture. The Psalms are the songs of the Son. But how can these songs point to Jesus if they were transcribed centuries before his life and death on the cross?
Songs of the Son explores 9 psalms cited in Hebrews. Each chapter focuses on a single psalm—exploring its role in the argument of the Hebrews, uncovering the psalm’s central themes, and then reexamining the psalm through the lens of Hebrews’ interpretation. Ultimately, readers will gain a better understanding of the Psalter and discover how all Scripture, including the Old Testament, reveals the preincarnate glory of Christ.” – back of book
