Psalms 90-106: An Early Advent Hymn Book?
With The Revd Canon Prof Sue Gillingham
Thursday 12 December, 7:30pm on Zoom
Part of: Words for the Word: Advent in prayers, psalms and preaching
In this series of three talks Exeter Cathedral’s three Canons Theologian will explore some liturgical responses to the Advent and Christmas seasons. We will introduce some new texts and will share some new perspectives on familiar ones.
Come and join us for one talk or all three, as we learn about and reflect on some beautiful seasonal words for the Word!
Sue was ordained to the Permanent Deaconate in 2018 and was installed as Canon Theologian in Exeter Cathedral later that year. She is Emeritus Professor of the Hebrew Bible at the University of Oxford and Emeritus Fellow at Worcester College, Oxford. She has written a good deal about the Psalms, and in this Advent talk she intends to show that Psalms 90-106 have been organised (as a pre-Christian, Jewish collection) to demonstrate God’s eternal Kingship in an unpredictable world – an ancient message, but with a contemporary ring.
