The Psalms, Theology, and the Arts in Jewish and Christian Traditions

Catalog description

At the heart of the course is a series of conversations with artists and scholars, including the instructors for the course, who give attention to the Psalms in their professional work. After initial sessions with the instructors, we will have discussions (not lectures) with invited guests most weeks. Students will work with the instructors to prepare questions and help to guide the discussion, which, we anticipate, will be about an hour in duration. The remaining class time each week will be devoted to discussions among the regular seminar participants, focusing on assigned readings/viewings/listenings.
