Benjamin Sommer on "the Psalms of Crisis"

This was a small seminar in the late afternoon.. The lecturer went through a small number of the Psalms that he calls Psalms of crisis which is in line with the theme of the summer. Since very little is known about the history and authorship of the Psalms, a lot of the discussion dealt with how they were used by what we might call Temple counselors to help people in crisis in the ancient world.
