The Book of Psalms: Divine Poetry, Human Faith, and Messianic Hope
A comprehensive exploration of the Psalms as a collection of prayers, praise, and meditations that reflect Israel's lived faith experience, reveal the character of God, anticipate Christ's redemptive work, and continue to shape worship and spiritual practice. This course traces the theological purpose and literary artistry of the Psalms while examining how they address the full range of human experience—from doubt and lament to exuberant praise—always anchored in trust in God's faithfulness.
