Scripture and Theology Colloquium - May 16, 2025: Psalms - Songs of Praise...or Theology?

The Psalms have functioned as the prayerbook of the Jewish and Christian traditions for thousands of years. But what if the Psalms have a role to play, not just in our devotional and liturgical lives, but also in our efforts to articulate a broader biblical theology?
At this Colloquium, we have a group of world-class scholars ready to share their latest research on the Psalms from both Jewish and Christian perspectives. This event is designed for all theologically-minded people: graduate students, academics, rabbis, pastors, and anyone interested in teaching and preaching from the Psalter.

Wycliffe College Blog

Vestigia Dei – is a Latin term meaning “traces of God.” As a theological term it is associated with natural theology – that is, the view that there are vestiges of God within creation. We’ve chosen this term as the title of the Wycliffe College blog because our hope is that through these writings, readers might glimpse evidences for God as our writers interact with the wider world.

Scripture and Theology Colloquium - Psalms: Songs of Praise...and Theology?

The Psalms naturally supply powerful words for meditation, maybe even for reorientation, and music and art can supplement this effect. But if we take a biblical-theological approach by looking to see how certain themes are articulated across the Psalter, perhaps the Psalms exist also for explanation. The wider challenge of how to preach and write commentary on the Psalms as well as how to make the Psalms digestible to modern worshippers will provide the heart of our talks and discussion.
