Wycliffe College | Scripture and Theology Colloquium - Psalms: Songs of Praise...and Theology?

Image

The Wycliffe College Scripture and Theology Colloquium is a semi-annual gathering of faculty, pastors, students, and others who are interested in exploring the dynamic interactions of scripture and theology. Featuring a selection of world-class experts, the colloquia will alternate in focus, sometimes addressing larger theological topics and other times considering a specific book or chapter of the Bible.

In both the Jewish and the Christian tradition, the Psalms have been set to be read, performed, and received as inspiration. The Psalms naturally supply powerful words for meditation, maybe even for reorientation, and music and art can supplement this effect. But if we take a biblical-theological approach by looking to see how certain themes are articulated across the Psalter, perhaps we'll see that the Psalms also exist for explanation. The wider challenge of how to preach and write commentary as well as how to make Psalms digestible by modern worshippers will provide the heart of our talks and discussion.
