Welcome to season 2 of Down Under Theology, a podcast equipping and encouraging Australian Christians to get down and under the theology impacting the life and mission of the church.
In episode 12 we go on a whirlwind tour through the book of Psalms, a book Luther calls “a little bible”. We look at how the Psalms are an expression of the rest of scripture, and the Christian life. We discuss its structure and themes, and talk about how we can better read and teach the book, including how we can bring the singing of Psalms back into the life of the church.
In Season 2, we'll be going over each book of the Bible, bringing out the big ideas, themes, and implications for the life and mission of the church.
