Synopsis

Experience fresh connections to contemporary worship and devotional practices in this eight-session video-based study of Psalms with Bible scholar Sandra Richter (streaming video included).

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 study guide has everything you need for a full Bible study experience, including:

• An individual access code to stream all eight video sessions online (you don't need to buy a DVD!).
• The study guide itself—with discussion and reflection questions, video notes, and study sections.
• Illuminated manuscript activities.
• In-depth breakdown of specific psalms.

The Book of Psalms Study (part of the Epic of Eden series) will open up the poetry and prayers of Scripture in a whole new and deeply sensitive way. Learning from Professor Richter's crystal-clear teaching, you'll discover:

• How you can trust God with all your emotions: grief, anger, praise, fear, and hope.
• How and why the people of Israel used the Psalms in worship.
• Why the book of Psalms is critical in our devotional lives today.
• How the Psalms can deepen your prayer life.
