SFI Seminar 2010/3
PSALMS
What are the psalms? It is a question often asked by God’s people. Are they prayers? Are they songs? Are they praises? Well, the psalms are all these!
They are centuries-old prayers, songs and praises of the Hebrew people. The psalms emerged from a people who are in love with life and with God they worshipped. They desired to know how to live life to the fullest and enjoy every day of it. They want to know how to praise God in every part of their lives. They desired to know how to celebrate their relationship with God.
What other better way than to come up with the psalms. The psalms allowed the ancient Hebrew people to sing, pray and praise God in the way they understand. With each successive generation, the psalms are passed on but not passed over – such is the book called the Psalms.
In this course, we will look at three types of psalms (hymns, laments and thanksgivings) using Brueggemann’s model of Psalms of Orientation, Disorientation and Reorientation which correspond with the different periods we go through in our lives.
Speaker: Rev. Anthony Loke, Seminari Theologi Malaysia
We had a great seminar with the "Rabbi" a.k.a Rev. Anthony Loke. Using Walter Brueggemann's approach of orientation, disoritentation and reorientation, the "Rabbi" orientated , disorientated and reorientated the participants to the understanding and appreciating the Psalms.
