Summary of Readings

·                    The Bible has 66 Books, written by 40 authors over 1500 years

·                    Like the Bible, The Book of Psalms itself was written by many authors; it is thought to have been compiled by Ezra after the Captivity

·                    The Book of Psalms contains the middle chapter (Psalm 117) and middle verses (Psalm 103:1-2) of the Bible

·                    The Book provides insights into how people felt, especially after key Biblical events, and the Sections confirm a continuing relationship with God across changing societies and cultures

·                    The Psalms provide support, comfort and instruction for emotional needs in our relationship with God, and with other people

·                    The tools in Psalms show us how to cope with life’s issues, as we seek eventually “to dwell in the house of the Lord  forever” (Psalm 23) – either with a spiritual house in the resurrection, or a physical house should our spirit and soul and body become the temple of God at Jesus Christ’s return.
