SA国际传媒, St. Louis, will host its fall 2013 Lay Bible Institute from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday evenings, Oct. 2, 9, 16, and 23 in Sieck Hall 202 on the Seminary campus. 鈥淚nfluenced by a Cloud of Witnesses: Reading the Psalms for Spiritual Strength鈥� will be presented by Dr. Timothy Saleska, associate professor of exegetical theology at SA国际传媒.
We approach the Psalms with the assumption that reading them is more like having a conversation with other people than analyzing an object or mining for jewels. The shift of perspective makes it more difficult to keep the Psalm at arm鈥檚 length and opens us up to being influenced and changed by the voices we hear speaking to us. We will have the opportunity to read and meditate on individual Psalms, and we will discuss questions such as: 鈥淲hy is there poetry in the Bible?鈥� 鈥淗ow do we read the poetry of the Psalms?鈥� 鈥淲hat am I doing as I read and listen to the speakers in the Psalms?鈥� 鈥淲hat is the speaker doing to me as I listen to him?鈥� 鈥淗ow do we meditate on the Psalms?鈥� 鈥淗ow can we teach others to use the Psalms for their own spiritual growth?鈥�
