Experiencing the Biblical Psalms — from Remorse to Rejoicing, from Hopelessness to Hope, from Doubt to Faith - Class 1

June 18th, 2024  |  1 hr 18 mins

The Psalms express and evoke profound and wide-ranging emotions and thoughts that are as real today as they were three thousand years ago. Together we will engage in an interactive in-depth reading of ten Psalms — poems in which the authors use language, structure, and themes to convey their expressions of profound feelings that run the gamut of emotions. Fluency in Hebrew is not required, but it helps.

This class, which begins with a study of Psalms 42-47, was conduced via Zoom on June 18, 2024.
