  I’ve always read them through the eyes of David, since he wrote so many, and have really focused on trying to put myself in his shoes. I have also looked at them more as praises than as poetry. This course is appealing to me because it seems I will gain new perspective.

  My view on studying the Psalms is that I could pray the same prayers of those penned in the Psalms, because sometimes I face similar situations as those experienced by David or any other writers in that Book.

  I viewed Psalms as poetry written mainly by King David, with lovely passages and wonderful lessons. Earlier in my Christian walk, I was encouraged to receive the gift of speaking in tongues (by my bishop) through reading the Psalms. I went to bed that night and awoke at about 3am speaking in tongues! Hallelujah!

  As we study the Psalms, we find so much good we never realized was written there. Interesting! It was a nice book with a lot of good information and poetry from a large family of writers lead by the Holy Spirit and the Heavenly Father.

  That it was a huge volume of psalms written to see God in different ways from the prospective of the writer.

  To also show me the heart of the writer to God.

  Has anything in this first lecture changed your view of the Psalms?

  We have a great book of hymns and poetry written during Old Testament times to show the hurt and the hope we find inn God. We have this great volume written so we can see God in the many ways fro the thoughts of the different writers to show us the heart of the writer to God.

  With a time of reading and study, we can understand a good bit of the phrases and emotions for God’s ideal for a fulfilled and purpose-filled life.

  Yes, that the poetry was written with imagination and must be read with imagination.

  I don’t remember all being said in the first lecture, only looking forward to read with imagination what was written with imagination.

  I am interested in focusing on the lecturer’s comment that when we read the Psalms with imagination, paying attention to its phrasing and emotional impact that we can see God’s ideal for a fulfilled purposeful life.
