Course Info
How can we respond when we’re mad at God? How can we praise the Lord in the midst of life’s many challenges? Throughout the ages, the Psalms have been a rich source for worship and theological reflection in Jewish and Christian traditions. In this course, we will closely study key Psalms that represent the full theological richness of the Psalter, with an eye to how ancient manuscripts, translations, and commentaries can help us understand the texts in fresh ways.
