The Psalms, collectively, have been described as the national hymn-book of the Old Testament people of God, expressing every emotion of the human heart and experience. The book of Psalms also serves as a contemporary lexicon, giving us words we need to communicate with God in our worship and our day to day lives.
in this module we will become familiar with the origins, structure and literary style of the Psalms and make the Psalms, collectively and individually, more accessible. The hope of the lecturer is that students will make much greater use of the Psalms in their personal walk with the Lord, thereby enriching and maturing their spiritual lives and worship.
