Eighteenth Sunday After Pentecost (Year B) - 9/22/24
Manage episode 440225525 series 2775621
One of the defining characteristics of the Psalms is that they have little historical context. Dating them is incredibly tricky. Scholars often rely on how language develops as much as they do historical artifacts. Because of this limited historical data, they're endlessly applicable; it's why they resonate today. Jonathan and Seth discuss Psalm 1, which could be read as an introduction to the entire book. They disagree about its application. They read the psalm differently, emphasize different parts, and maybe, see the current situation differently. If one has to "read the world" alongside reading texts, this opens up many areas of disagreement. But I (Seth), think we managed the disagreement respectfully and hope it can be a model. It also makes for a classic episode of No Experts Allowed.
We're glad you're with us, regardless of if you always agree with our conclusions. Listeners bring us much joy and push us to improve our podcast. So, a heartfelt thank you.
