  • Tuesday 10:00 AMArchaeology of the Psalms
    The Psalmists refer to a number of sites and settings that may elude our understanding. We will seek to provide contextual clarification.

  • Monday 10:00 AMGeography in the Psalms
    The world of the Psalms is very different from most of the United States.  We will consider various Psalms and how the writers utilize the geography of the biblical world in their compositions.
