This afternoon’s Poetry Please was given over to the book of Psalms. Some were read in the King James version, and others in Robert Alter’s recent translation. These latter were particularly fabulous. There was an interesting selection of psalms, beginning with the familiarity of the King James version of Psalm 23, the bookends of 1 and 150, and various others including 22, 19, 13, 65 and 104. The programme ended with both the KJV and Alter’s translation of Psalm 137 which almost had me in tears.
Conversational theology:
the art of learning deep truths about God and man in the company of friends, whilst drinking tea and eating cake.-
