For session 8 (19 November)...

In our next session we'll be looking at the genre of poetry in the Bible.

For this session you will need to have read:

• KBH, ch. 9, pg. 351-359, and 387-397.

Here are some questions to think about while doing your reading:

• What are some of the types of OT poetry (352-357)?
• What do the authors say are some of the principles for interpreting poetry (357-359)?
• What are some of the different types of wisdom literature (387-397)?
• What things do we need to keep in mind when interpreting proverbs (389-390)?
• What about the book of Job? What are some of the principles for understanding the speeches found there (395-396)?
