What Makes the Psalms So Special?

The book of Psalms is well-known and well-loved. 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—whereas most of Scripture speaks to us, the Book of Psalms speaks for us.

Come to truly understand this beloved hymnal of ancient Israel. Experience fresh connections to contemporary worship and devotional practices in this eight-session video-based study with well-known scholar Sandra Richter. Indulge in the biblical study of the Psalms, letting Sandy do the heavy lifting of research and translation, which in turn allows you to engage the Bible more deeply than you thought possible.

What Bible study users are saying about Psalms:

"Sandra beautifully leads us to use the Psalms as a tool for prayer, worship, expression, and support in our lives today.""A gift to better understand the Psalms and their function.""Her insights about the history, cultural context, and use of poetry are so helpful and fascinating."
