Introduction (Part 2): Solving Difficulties

Message 2

W. Robert Godfrey

Learning to love the Psalms requires us to overcome the interpretive difficulties outlined in the previous lecture. In this lesson, Dr. Godfrey demonstrates how the difficulties commonly perceived in the Psalms are not that difficult after all.

Introduction (Part 1): Attractions & Difficulties

W. Robert Godfrey

The Psalms have a Godward direction, being God’s words to us to give back to Him. In this lesson, Dr. Godfrey discusses the uniqueness of the Psalms as well as the difficulties that must be overcome if we are to learn to love them.

Psalm 11: The Power of Poetry

W. Robert Godfrey

Psalm 11 exhibits the powerful characteristics of Hebrew poetry typically found throughout the Psalms. In this lesson, Dr. Godfrey uses Psalm 11 to provide us with an interpretive grid that we may apply to all the psalms as Hebrew poetry.

Psalms 26 & 39: Peculiar Psalms

W. Robert Godfrey

Certain psalms raise difficult questions that require us to apply a biblical hermeneutic so that we can make appropriate distinctions about them. In this lesson, Dr. Godfrey focuses his attention on Psalms 26 and 39 as examples of so called “problematic” psalms.
