Matthias Henze, assistant professor of religious studies at Rice University,
will guide us in a discussion of the content and theology of a selection
of Psalms. In the biblical books of the Prophets and in the Torah, God
reaches out to us. In the Psalms, we reach out to God. The biblical
Psalms are a record of our quest for God and a revealing portrayal of
the human condition. Suggested reading: Nahum M. Sarna, On
the Book of Psalms: Exploring the Prayers of Ancient Israel.
