Two new Psalms videos
My Religion 101 class will study selected psalms on Tuesday. To help lay a foundation for our in-class activities, I created the following videos, two of which I uploaded just a couple of hours ago:
Enjoy!

Good stuff Chris. Will you be treating with them the question of the overarching metanarrative of the Psalter?
John: Probably not. I can only devote 75 minutes of class time to the Psalter, and I want most of that time to be spent with the students doing active, hands-on work with the psalms.
Chris: Fair enough. When I taught the Psalms about a month ago I mentioned the metanarrative stuff, because I think it is important and still the unsettled, cutting-edge in Psalms scholarship. I only mentioned it briefly, but I think they appreciated the attempt to make sense of this collection of collections.
At the 3:12 mark in your Sorting video, you mentioned “scholars from google onward…” Not sure what you meant. Did you mean something about the search engine, or did you mean eternity (another way of saying, “scholars have always…”?
P.S. Thanks for weaving a cute cheerleader into your lecture. I gave you the highest rating possible of course, even if I totally misunderstood something you said! Would be nice if you could work her into all of your lectures somehow…
G.M., just wait until you see my garden gnomes. :-)
I agree. Good stuff here. I plan to list your videos on my syllabus for O.T. at Amarillo College. Thanks for your work and for sharing this.
