[Martin] Luther spoke of the importance of understanding the Psalter in the light of Christ. He rebuked those ‘who have a carnal understanding of the Psalms, like the Jews, who always apply the Psalms to ancient history apart from Christ’. Luther expected something more from a Christian interpreter, for ‘Christ has opened the mind of those who are His so that they might understand the Scriptures’.
