Description
The book of Psalms is well-known and well-worn. It is the Old Testament book most often quoted in the New Testament, and its quotations can be found everywhere from John Milton to Star Trek to Congressional speeches. Why so much attention? The Church Father Athanasius said it best-most of Scripture speaks to us, but the Book of Psalms speaks for us.
This DVD includes eight video teaching sessions from author Sandra L. Richter and is designed for use with Epic of Eden Psalms Study Guide (sold separately).
Experience fresh connections to contemporary worship and devotional practices in this eight-session video-based study with well-known scholar Sandra Richter. Indulge in the biblical study of the Psalms, letting Sandra do the heavy lifting of research and translation, which in turn allows you to engage the Bible in a deeply sensitive way.
This study will help you answer the ever-present question, "so what does this have to do with me today?"
You will discover:
How to bridge the gap between the culture and practices of ancient Israel and today
How you can trust God with all your emotions: grief, anger, praise, fear, and hope
