The Psalms: An Inspired Prayer Book

"Explore the Rich History and Meaning of Psalms" is an online course focused on understanding the Book of Psalms in the context of Jewish tradition and its Christian usage. The course begins by categorizing different types of Psalms and understanding how they would have been prayed by Jesus. It then connects this ancient Jewish practice to contemporary Christian prayer, emphasizing the roots in the Sinai Covenant. The course is designed to be light with minimal outside work and culminates in a creative project, where students create a mini "Book of Hours" centered around the Psalms of Compliance. A notable aspect is the requirement for a minimum of 3 student enrollment to ensure a vibrant discussion experience.
