Psalms and Wisdom Literature

The first part of this course is a study of the psalms – their origin, literary genres, theological themes, and liturgical use in Ancient Israel as well as in contemporary Christian worship. It delves into form-critical exegesis of representative psalms, including the analysis of elements and techniques of Hebrew poetry.

The second part is an overview of the Sapiential literature in the Old Testament. After a general introduction of each book, paying attention to its history, literary genre, structure, motifs, and theological themes, the course then embarks on an exegetical analysis of selected pericopes from the different books.
