Part 9 - Hermeneutics: How to Interpret the Psalms & Scripture

How should Christians interpret difficult passages in the Psalms and understand Hebrew poetry? In this lesson on biblical interpretation, Pastor Phil Fernandes examines the Psalms as expressions of worship, prayer, praise, thanksgiving, and the believer’s personal relationship with God. Special attention is given to the challenging imprecatory Psalms, explaining why their historical and literary context matters and how Christians should understand calls for judgment in light of Jesus’ command to love and pray for our enemies. The lesson also explores Hebrew poetic devices including imagery, parallelism, recurring refrains, and acrostics.
