In this unit students identify the literary and poetic features of psalms and consider the contexts in which they were written, and how the Psalter as a whole has been collated and edited into a collection. There is exploration of the theologies embedded in and expressed through the psalms, and careful and creative thought is given to how to use and translate them for various liturgical contexts today. Psalm genres studied include lament, wisdom, complaint, and thanksgiving.
