| Description | Teaching Objective: As indicated by Ratio Fundamentalis Institutionis Sacerdotalis no. 78, this course aims at giving the students an example of “the correct methods of exegesis”. Hopefully, the students will be aware of “what the main problems are and their solution” and be able to “acquire a vision of the whole of Sacred Scripture with a clear insight into the principal chapters of the history of salvation”. This course on the Book of Psalms is especially suited to achieve the latter objective inasmuch as it spans at least 1000 years of Old Testament history. Moreover, while some Psalms offer remarkable reviews of the history of salvation, other Psalms are so open to the fulfillment of salvation in the New Testament that the Book of Psalms has not without reasons been called “The Fifth Gospel”. Teaching Content: At the beginning of the course, a choice will be made of one of the two following formats: a) To demonstrate a detailed exegesis in 5 steps: Text, Context, Form, Word, Message. b) A student may choose one Psalm out of the 52 weeks of the Sunday Responsorial Psalm of that Liturgical year and will share his/her work on Exegesis in a homiletic aspect. Each Psalm then will be studied and presented from the point of view of the most fundamental and pervasive theme of the whole Psalter, “God reigns!” i.e. “Reign of God” theme.
