Description
Summary:Nancy deClaissé-Walford’s scholarship and teaching on the psalms over the years has inspired countless students and peers toward a fuller understanding and connection to the psalms themselves. This essay illustrates a method for studying Psalm 104, inspired by deClaissé-Walford’s work, to introduce the idea of mindfulness of God’s interconnected creation. Born from a seminary classroom, the methods presented in this article could easily be adapted to congregational Bible studies or spirituality retreat settings. The article presents the methods used in a “Creation Theology, Spirituality, and the Arts” class, along with a brief commentary on Psalm 104, and suggestions on how to translate this method of study for various contexts.
