Mark taught lesson 2 on How to Study the Bible with a focus on the genre of Poetry.

The lesson’s three points:

1 A little Bible background: Old Testament written mostly in Hebrew. New Testament written mostly in Greek. Afterward and primarily due to the dominant language of the Roman Empire the scriptures were translated into Latin.

2. Reading different passages: Psalms are various styles of poetry or songs. Learn about the parallelisms and how they help in understanding poetic scripture.

3. Points for home in reading the Psalms

* Think about it

* Pray about it

* Enjoy the banquet

Listen to Mark expound the history of the Bible, and the origin of the reference Old Testament and New Testament and our privilege to access the Bible.

Enjoy the Psalms, the power of a repetition and the beauty of language.
