PSALM STUDY 2020

The Psalms of Israel have been composed to express the vast range of intense and traumatic experiences that make up human experience. They are created to provide a pathway to personal and corporate 'therapy,' as a means to rebuilding life and growing it toward greater fullness and peace. 

But to tap into their power, we must learn their structure and how they work to heal and transfigure human experience. 

It is no accident that the Psalms are not only the part of scripture most quoted by Jesus, but also the poetry and music of the church through the ages, recited not only during worship, but at weddings, funerals, the hospital bed and at celebrations of thanksgiving.
