For this module, selected psalms will be presented, in an interactive approach. We will spend time on biblical poetry (parallelism, metaphors and intertextuality), as we go deeper into the text of each psalm. Bring along whatever translation appeals to you. We will refer to the translations of the Psalms by Robert Alter and John Goldingay. Both offer versions close to the original Hebrew. Musical settings will also play a role in the programme.
