Life in the Psalms : contemporary meaning in ancient texts : the Mowbray Lent book, 2016
Woodhouse, Patrick2015
Books
The Psalms include texts that illuminate issues including climate change and environmental degradation; the illusions of consumerism and 'celebrity culture'; our response to migrants and asylum seekers; conditions of depression, anxiety and grief, and the question of 'attention' in a digital age. Many take us deeply into the experience of meditation and contemplation, teaching us how to wonder, and find happiness. This book contains reflections on 30 Psalms (one for each weekday of Lent), to illuminate each text and help those in search of a more contemplative spirituality to discover, in the midst of the hard realities of a secular 21st century world, a deep consciousness of the healing mystery of God.
