As promised, here is the second half of episode 5, in which I devote some time to the Psalms. There’s a lot going on in this section, including the great Psalm Jesus himself cited from the cross, Psalm 22 (Vulgate 21).

As mentioned in the episode, I did an exhibit on this Psalm for the Visual Commentary on Scripture. If you’d like to dig more into the theology of the Psalm and my claim that it should be viewed not as a cry of dereliction, but as a cry of faith, check it out here: https://thevcs.org/great-cry.

As always, feel free to comment here or in the Facebook group to keep the conversation going!
