Psalms: Audio Bible Studies

An Ancient Challenge to Get Serious About Your Prayer and Worship

By: Sandra L. Richter PhD

Narrated by: Sandra L. Richter

This eight-session study of the Book of Psalms masterfully mixes scholarly and practical teaching of one of the most well-read wisdom Books. Sandra Richter’s pedagogy offers every modern reader the scaffolding they cannot bring to the table themselves and introduces the people of God today to their ancestors in the faith in a cross-cultural-experience kind of way.

The key overall messages of this study is what the Book of Psalms is (the hymnbook of ancient Israel), how it was utilized in Israelite worship (the various “forms” of the Psalms), the concrete realities of Israelite worship (the tabernacle, temple, priesthood, and sacrifice) as well as Israel’s theology of worship (wrapped up in their theocratic world view), and why the Book of Psalms remains critical to our devotional lives today.

There will be numerous connections to contemporary worship and devotional practices and focus on a few psalms that have become “classics” in the Christian world and need a deeper explanation. What makes my studies unique is that I am a scholar … who was a pastor. As a result, I am able to do the “heavy lifting” for my audiences, but deeply sensitive to issues of engagement and the “so what?” part of the equation.

Good info.

Good info. Keeps your attention, need work book. She is easy to listen too.

Anything Richter

I first happened across Sandra Richter on Youtube.
My wife and I seek out her teachings. She "puts the cookies on the lower shelf" where it is accessible for the average person and Where comprehension and retention are the natural outcome.

Brilliant

Theologically rock solid, beautifully written and shared with such pathos. I loved every single minute listening and being equipped by a brilliant and godly scholar

amazing!

While I had never heard of Sandra L. Richter, I love the Psalms , so I took a chance with this audiobook. This book is not only very well written, but She really does a great job reading it. I will listen to it again.
