In "Psalms", Schaefer focuses on the structure of each psalm, its dramatic plot, modes of discourse, rhetorical features, and effective use of imagery to portray theology and the spiritual life. Schaefter portrays each poem's inner dynamic to acquaint readers with the poet and the community which prayed and preserved the composition, allowing believers to transpose in the contemporary situation.
Schaefer's concise commentary on the psalms relates their poetic elements while respecting their historical context and traditional use in the liturgy and their ultimate value as a springboard to private and communal prayer.
