  Episode #200

  200 | Anonymous (Psalms 66-67, 71)

  Oct 5, 202621 min

  Ancient Israel, somewhere in the period of the monarchy or just after. The Jerusalem Temple is the center of religious life. Worship is not a private thing here. It is communal, loud, expensive, and tied directly to the nation's relationship with a God who, in their understanding, controls everything from rainfall to military outcomes. These three psalms, 66, 67, and 71, all live in that world. Each one pulls at a slightly different thread of what it means to be human inside it.

  Episode #199

  199 | Davidic collection (Psalms 51-65, 68-70)

  Oct 2, 202618 min

  We are somewhere around 1000 BCE. The Iron Age is underway across the ancient Near East. Egypt is in slow decline. Babylon hasn't risen yet. Israel and Judah sit at a crossroads between empires, and the monarchy is young and unstable. David, the shepherd who became king, has unified the tribes, defeated the Philistines, captured Jerusalem, and made it his capital. By most measures, this is Israel's high point. By personal measures, David's life is a mess. Source: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13-BzG5rIEVeYVcEpS9VzPo6wIxr-HoGZ/view?usp=sharing

  Episode #198

  198 | Asaph psalm (Psalms 50)

  Sep 28, 202618 min

  In the ancient Near East, the gods of neighboring nations were not abstract ideas -- they were real rivals, each with their own territory and their own demands. Sacrifice was not symbolic. It was transactional. You fed the gods; they took care of you. Israel had inherited a full system built around this -- temples, priests, altars, animals, grain, incense. And into that world, Psalm 50 walks in and says: you have this wrong. Source: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MyRg7muPtp8Ao1JxAbCR5YelyeylviCu/view?usp=sharing

  Episode #197

  197 | Korah collection (Psalms 42-49)

  Sep 25, 202615 min

  We are somewhere in the middle of the first millennium BCE, in the ancient Near East. Gods were territorial. Every city, every nation, every mountain had one. When armies clashed, it was gods fighting gods, and if your army lost, your god lost. Religion was not personal belief. It was the system that explained who held power, who deserved to live, and how the world worked. You prayed at a temple because that was where your god lived. Being separated from that temple was not homesickness. It was a theological catastrophe. Source: https://drive.google.com/file/d/157fb-RTtamYutisKScxu4Hn3gJa6KnYI/view?usp=sharing

  Episode #196

  196 | Broken and Restored (Psalms 38-41)

  Sep 23, 202623 min

  Picture this. You are somewhere in the ancient Near East, roughly a thousand years before the Common Era. If you get sick in this world, it is not a private medical matter. It is a theological event. Illness is understood, by Israelites and their Mesopotamian and Canaanite neighbors alike, as a sign that something has gone wrong between you and the divine. Your body is a public announcement of your spiritual condition. That is where these four psalms come from. Source: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ctrQLVqZcI7UR818mh5weG3gJ688dpDe/view?usp=sharing
