In this “A Bit of the Book,” I’ve got a Psalms overview for you. Our goal is to be able to read the Psalms in a way that helps us receive from them what they’re communicating. This can mean a lot of things, but a solid framework helps.
Like any good Psalms overview should, we get to talk about the genre of the Psalms, and why it matters. I correct a few common misconceptions, and I muse just a teenie tiny bit about poetry and the fact that most people don’t love it.
You will walk away with more information, more shape, and a better foundation for connecting through this practically versatile, unique, and beloved book of the Bible (even if it is mostly poetry).
And don’t miss Quick Tips for Bible Study a set of videos covering conceptual topics and practical applications to simplify and enrich your time in the Word. The first video in the series is Which Bible Translation is the Best? It’s a great place to discover and learn. Dig in & enjoy!
