PSALMIC ODES FROM APOSTOLIC TIMES the ‘Odes of Solomon’, an Indian ’s meditation.

For the first time in India, we have an English translation of New Testament psalms for the general reader – from an Indian monk steeped in their meditation. All the psalms we know are from the Old Testament. They look forward to the Messiah, but grope in the dark, not knowing what the Messiah will bring. These new psalms – or Psalmic Odes as they are called to avoid confusion because they are not in the Biblical ‘canon’ (the Church’s authoritative Scripture) – tell in beautiful poetry of a Messiah, who has come, and is with us now. They sing of the Cross and Resurrection, the Holy Spirit and birth. New An Indian monk, Francis Acharya, ocso, of Kurisumala Catholic Arrival Ashram at Vagamon, in Kerala, used them for meditation, then translated them so that general readers should share the treasure. He died in 2002 aged 90 but, busy with other writings, did not finish all the commentaries - hence the delay.

These Psalmic Odes are scarcely known because they were discovered only in the 20th century among manuscripts in poor condition. Scholars took years to work out the text itself, as well as where they came from, their date, whether mainstream Christian, and what language they had been composed in (the Syriac, Greek and Coptic texts we have now are copies from earlier texts). Most previous translations have been for university academic specialists; while expert scholars knew about them, few others did. And general translations in the West have not had big circulations. Probably this is because of an unfortunate name they earned before being correctly dated, the ‘Odes of Solomon’. That suggests the Old Testament times. Actually, the name was originally given to link them into the tradition of the Wisdom Books of the Bible The book has a commendation by Cardinal Mar Cleemis, Past President of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India and includes substantial ‘Appreciations’ by six eminent pastoral theologians, listed on the reverse of this sheet. Psalmic Odes has now been painstakingly completed from Fr Francis’ notes, and published in prayer-book format - edited by Dr Bernard Kilroy (UK), given a first class Doctorate in Theology by Vidyajyoti Jesuit Faculty, Delhi, for research on all the writings of Abbot Francis (the Odes being just one component). Contents of the Book The 41 surviving Odes in English translation; commentaries on each; Illuminations by Artist with commentaries; theologians’ appreciations; various introductions, explanatory notes and bibliography.
