If you encounter us again in the wild, you should definitely say hi! Also, if you are ever passing through Stoke while we are around drop one of us a line (probably best on the other place, as we aren't very active here at the moment), we love to meet new people.

Just shared this with @suzania.bsky.social, who was delighted to hear it!

Along the way, we will be reading a lot of thought-provoking secondary literature and, most importantly, spending much time with and in the Psalms themselves.

Ten weeks, two hours a week. Starting January 17th.

• How can Christians sing, pray with, and use the psalms devotionally?
• How have the psalms been used and interpreted over the history of the people of God?
• How can the psalms be restored to their proper centrality in the life of the contemporary Church?

• How do the Psalms relate to the figure of the king?
• How can we make sense of the imprecatory psalms?
• How do the Psalms develops the tradition of the Torah?
• How are the Psalms used and remixed in the later canon?
• How do NT authors connect the psalms with Christ?

Some of the questions that we will be considering in this course:

• What place does song have in Scripture more generally?
• How are the books of the Psalms structured?
• What are some of the literary features and devices of the Psalms?

The Psalms have been sung by the people of God for over three millennia. They occupy a distinctive place in the scriptural canon and the Church's worship.

You may have been singing them all your life, but this course is a chance to reflect more deeply. davenanthall.com/course/psalm...
