In this lecture we look at one of the most loved and most researched passages in all of Scripture. We consider the beautiful literary artistry that shapes the poem itself and offer a fresh analysis of the Old Testament background behind its word pictures. Finally, the lecture turns to the poem’s theological message and practical implications for life in the world and the church today.Dr. George Guthrie is Professor of New Testament at Regent College and a highly sought-after lecturer, who has taught across North America, as well as in East Asia, the United Kingdom, Germany, South Africa, and Israel.
