How Might Anglicans Better Interpret What We Read in the Bible?
Additional material: STUDY GUIDE How might Anglicans better interpret what we read in the Bible? A Study Guide for “What the Anglican Communion has said about the Bible: Themes and Principles emerging from official and semi-official Anglican Communion documents” Introduction to the Study Guide Have you ever wondered “What does the Anglican Communion believe about ...? An easy answer is hard to find! One approach is to trace the thinking of the Anglican Communion over time through its classic theologians and foundation documents. These include historic 16/17th texts, Lambeth Conference resolutions, Reports from Anglican Commissions and our ecumenical conversations (such as ARCIC). So, if you asked ‘what does the Anglican Communion believe about the Bible?’ then “What the Anglican Communion has said about the Bible: Extracts from official and semi-official Anglican Communion documents” outline what has been said officially about such matters. While they are consistent in what has been said over time, they also show developments in Anglican thinking. Certain Themes emerge from these texts which help summarise the position we, as Anglicans, take on this question [these are summarised in Section 3 of this Study Guide]. Other ways of framing the Themes are likely, however, and perhaps some Themes are missing. If your group feels that either of these are the case then we would be delighted to hear from you Let’s start a conversation But this Study Guide wants to go one step further. Are there guidelines that can assist us, as Anglicans, in the way we interpret what we read in Scripture? Those responsible for the Bible in the Life of the Church project 1 discerned Seven Principles which they derived from a number of Anglican sources: the Themes, regional research and contemporary Anglican hermeneutic insights. -
The Seven Penitential Psalms
The Seven Penitential Psalms (translation- The Grail Psalter) Ad privatum usum Cathedral of Saint Paul Saint Paul, MN Cathedral of Saint Paul 239 Selby Avenue Saint Paul MN 55102 Image of Cassiodorus from a 12thc English Manuscript The ancient tradition in the Church of the Penitential Psalmody (Psalms 6, 32, 38, 51, 102, 130, and 143) is rich. In the 5th century writings of Possidius, we learn that Saint Augustine: …ordered the Davidic Psalms, which are few in number concerning penance, to be copied for him, and lying in bed he used to look at those pages which had been placed on the opposite wall and read them, and wept profusely and con- tinuously (Vita S. Augustini, xxxi) The first unequivocal reference to the seven “penitential” psalms as a group dates back to Cassiodorus (d. 580 A.D.), in his Expositio Psalmorum. In his masterful commentary on the last psalm (143), he On the Front Cover. Uriah the Hittite receives a letter from wrote of the “course of their blessed tears” that has just been com- King David. Secret orders in the letter direct that Uriah, husband of pleted, noting that the journey that begins in affliction, leads us “to Bathsheba, be sent to the “forefront of the hottest battle... that the hope of joys.” he may be smitten and die.” Overpainted woodcut depicts a scene from the Old Testament book of 2 Samuel, Chapter 11. Prior to Vatican II, these psalms found a place in the Church’s litur- Paris, ca.1510 A.D.. Latin text shown is taken from the open- gical and sacramental tradition, and their recovery as a tradition ing lines of Psalm 6. -

Psalm 45 Title: a Royal Wedding Song Author and Date: the Sons of Korah Key Verses
Psalm 45 Title: A Royal Wedding Song Author and Date: The Sons of Korah Key Verses: Psalm 45:1, 17 Type: Royal / Messianic Outline A. The king’s messenger (verse 1). B. The king’s majesty (verses 2-9). C. The king’s marriage (verses 10-15). D. The king’s memorial (verses 16-17). Notes Title: “For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Maschil. A song of loves.” See the notes on Psalm 42. The following psalms have something similar to this title: Psalm 42, 44-49, 84-85, and 87-88. “Shoshannim” means “lilies” and it may refer to a particular instrument (lilly-shaped cymbals?) or tune of the day to which this song was sung. This was a musical instruction given to the chief musician to direct the song “after” or “in the manner of” Shoshannim. “A song of loves” (also called an epithalamium) refers to a song that describes the love between a king (verse 1) and his queen (verse 9) who are about to marry. Summary: Psalm 45 is a royal psalm (see Psa. 2) describing the king and his marriage to the queen. It is a song celebrating the majesty (verses 2-9) and the marriage (verses 10- 15) of one of the king’s of Israel. The marriage of Solomon to the daughter of Pharaoh is one example that would fit this occasion (1 K. 3:1). First, the psalmist describes the king’s physical features (verses 2-5, 8-9) and then his spiritual qualities (verses 4, 6-7). -

The Book of Psalms Session 6: Psalm 137 1) Theme: the Sufferings
The Book of Psalms Session 6: Psalm 137 1) Theme: The sufferings and feelings of people who experienced the conquest and destruction of Jerusalem in 587 BC, who were deported to Babylon in captivity. It gives vent to intense feelings of homesickness, depression, desire for revenge, patriotism, and rage. a) Verse 1: Verb is in the Past Tense i) How far back we don’t know. ii) Could be after the return to Jerusalem. iii) Could be while they were there in Babylon b) His mind goes back to the agonizing hours when they sat sadly from his homeland i) Tearful eyes and homesick hearts ii) They began to sing their songs of lament and play their harps in accompaniment. iii) Not only homesick, but they felt separated from God and the Temple. iv) It is a theological challenge: Can God have any power in a foreign land? (1) Has God rejected us forever?, Do we have access to God?. Are we being punished? 2) Verses 2-3: a) They cannot mourn in private. b) They hang up their harps on willow trees c) They hear their tormentors walking towards them. d) To make the prisoners aware of their power i) They call upon them to sing happy songs, a song of Zion (Psalms 46, 48, 84, 122) to entertain Gentiles! 3) Verse 4 a) They indignantly refuse. i) Would it be an affront to God? ii) Or is it because God can’t hear them so far away? b) What is clear is that not all situations are appropriate for praising God. -

Rivers of the Bible: Justice and Peace (Like a River)
Daniel Cooperrider 1 September 2019 Weybridge Congregational Church Amos 5: 24 Rivers of the Bible: Justice and Peace (Like a River) Introduction to Scripture Before we turn our attention to our scriptures for today, I’d like to give a little introduction or orientation to where we are, in terms of today being the third or actually fourth week of our seven week summer series on the theme of the Rivers of the Bible. The first week, as a reminder or introduction, we began with an experimental circular worship in our fellowship area downstairs, in which, in place of the sermon, we organized ourselves into a river flowing through that space, each placing ourselves along the course of the river wherever felt our lives landing at that moment—from the headwaters and source, to the riffles and rapids, to the winding bends and flat straight stretches, to the wide deep estuary or mouth. As we passed the microphone downstream to share our own river thoughts, we created our own flowing river of shared testimony together. The last two weeks have seen us focus on some key river stories in the Bible. Two weeks ago we began at the beginning with the story about the river of paradise that was said to flow out of the Garden of Eden. The question that week was the question of ultimate source, the question of ultimate beginning. Where actually does a river begin?, as a way of wondering, Where actually does all of this begin? My sermon that week included a personal adventure story of hiking up the side of Mount Tabor in southern Vermont trying to find the exact source of Otter Creek that flows through our town here. -

In the fall of 1951 and again during the summer of 1954, she studied Bach’s works as a guest in the home of Dr. Albert Schweitzer. Since 1978, her Schweitzer research brought Dr. Barber to the Schweitzer House archives (Gunsbach, France) many times.
