Two Psalms That Sum Up the Hebrew Bible

Paglalarawan

Psalms 1 & 2 E3 — So far in this short series, we’ve looked individually at Psalm 1 and Psalm 2. Now we’ll look at them side by side. The art of meditating on Scripture involves appreciating every single paragraph, poem, and story, but then also considering what comes before and after, because the biblical authors put everything in this order for a reason! Looking at Psalms 1 and 2 next to each other we find many overlapping words and ideas, so reading both together is crucial for understanding each one individually. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore all the connections, not only between Psalms 1 and 2, but also between these psalms and many other places in the Hebrew Bible.
