Reply To: In Lecture 2, Dr. Dru Johnson mentions that there has been a decline in biblical literacy in the Church. After taking this course, what are some recommendations you would give to church leadership to increase biblical literacy?

Hi Alice, I really appreciate your ideas and the connections you make to music! Historically, chanting the Psalms was how monastic communities memorized Scripture, and their writings are immersed in Hebraic thought and imagery. In particular, the works of Saint Hildegard von Bingen show such a vibrant approach to the Christian life of prayer and how the senses and arts intersect with spirituality!
