Synopsis
The idea for this book was birthed when the faculty members of Seminari Theoloji Malaysia (STM) contemplated a special publication celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the seminary. It was quickly decided that we should put together our sermons on Psalms preached at the chapel based on Lectionary Readings. Psalms are often neglected in the teaching and preaching of the Malaysian Church. Yet Psalms offer rich reflections on our journey of faith. Drawing from personal experience, the psalmists express a whole range of emotions, from joy to lament, from praise to weeping, and from exultation to sorrow. Because of this, Psalms help us to pray and relate to God more honestly and intimately. They also express clearly who God is, what he is like, and what he has done. May you be encouraged in your Christian walk and moved to praise our great God as you read and reflect on the psalms, just as we did on first hearing them.
About the Series: The STM Series is the publication of Seminari Theoloji Malaysia (STM) and Armour Publishing, Singapore. The format of the STM Series follows the successful SPCK series known as the International Study Guides (ISGs) or its earlier predecessor, the Theological Education Fund (TEF) series. The STM Series publishes books under various subsections namely, Biblical, Theological, Historical, Missions and Pastoral. These books are intercultural and contextual in approach and are written mainly by the lecturers and friends of STM. Although these books are written to cater to a wider public audience, scholarship and relevance to contemporary local issues are addressed.
