Method

  1. Disregard superscriptions.
  2. Employ philological and theological criteria to date psalms (Israel’s religion progressed from outward to inward, personal).
  3. Conclusion: Psalms are post-exilic and many of them reflect the political and ecclesiastical struggles of the Maccabean era.
