Psalms — From Lament to Praise

This course will examine how the Psalms have been read, interpreted, and proclaimed from the time of their composition through to today by various well-known, forgotten, and emerging voices, including the majority world and women voices. Attention will also be given to traditional and contemporary approaches to the study of the Psalms—such as literary forms, canonical shaping, trauma and moral injury studies, biblical theological reflection, and exegesis of representative Psalms.
