A different approach to the Psalms

Most of us. in my experience, dabble with the Psalms. We dip into one or another from time to time, and carve out our favorites, but we usually don’t consider the Book of Psalms as a unit with a point of view, or a comprehensive message from the totality of psalms. Robert MacDonald wants to change this approach.

This week at the Energion Discussion Network begins with MacDonald’s sense of the Psalms as a unity that provides ways of knowing God–and ourselves–that just looking at individual psalms cannot provide. Go to http://energion.co/discuss/ and decide for yourself.
