Bible Reading Plan

We are officially one-third of the way through Psalms. We are scheduled to finish Psalms by the end of August.

From Understanding the Old Testament (5th edition) by Anderson, Bishop, & Newman:

"The title 'the book of Psalms' actually comes from the New Testament (Luke 20:42; Acts 1:20). The early Christian community read Israel's scriptures in the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, the Septuagint. There the prevailing title was psalmoi, referring to 'songs' sung to the accompaniment of stringed instruments. Another title, psalterion, found in one codex of the Greek Bible, refers primarily to a zitherlike instrument and secondarily to songs sung to stringed accompaniment. From this title comes the term Psalter.



Whereas the Greek terms psalmoi and psalterion emphasize the musical dimension of the psalms, the Hebrew title Tehillim ('praises') stresses their content. Indeed, in whatever mood or mode, these songs are praises to God."

Happy reading!
