BIB 5812 - The Psalter

2 Credit Hours

Students will explore the nature, value, and purpose of the Old Testament Psalter within the context of Christian ministry. Incorporating the study of biblical Hebrew, the course builds on an introductory familiarity with the Old Testament’s poetic traditions, focusing on the text’s historical background, literary content, canonical role, and theological application. As an integrated course, this study of the Psalter will intentionally dialog with the Eastern Christian tradition in particular and will connect to the semester theme of Living in God’s Kingdom.
