Bible Streams

The five books of the Psalter present five different collections of psalms, carefully collated and presented to draw the listener and reader into knowing God and experiencing His presence in the midst of life's highs and lows. Book 2 presents us with a series of psalms that connect us to David's life, drawing us into the thoughts, prayers and wrestles behind the scenes of life. Jo and Alex walk through this section, stopping to sample the various sorts of psalms on the way through.Resources/Links mentioned in this episode, or as references or helpful for Bible Streams:Book: John Walton (ed) - The IVP Bible Background Commentary: Old TestamentBook: Longman & Enns (eds) - Dictionary of the Old Testament: Wisdom, Poetry & WritingsBook: Robert Alter - The Book of the Psalms: A Translation with CommentaryBook: Robert Alter - The Hebrew Bible: A Translation with CommentaryBook: G.
