Covers selected books/passages of the Old Testament, based primarily on the English text with reference to the Hebrew/Aramaic original, normally offered off campus for the MA Min students and others who have not taken Hebrew. While the written corpus of the Old Testament contains stories, laws, ethical reflections and prophecies, it is in the Psalms that God’s people bring their stories, their successes and failures, their reflections on law and ethics and their hope for the future together in worship before God. For that reason the Psalms hold a central place in finding lasting meaning with in the Old Testament. And for that reason they continue to influence personal devotion and corporate worship of God’s people today.
