Books read in 2022: No. 1 -- The Book of Psalms

published by Zondervan

Started: Jan. 1
Finished: Jan. 7

Notes: I've been putting off this reading because this is the longest book of the Bible and because having read much of it before, I know this is mostly fairly dry material. Still, I'm set on reading the Bible from beginning to end, so here goes.


Mini review: This contains a series of what are basically hymns, most of them praises to God or seeking aid from God in some form or another. It can be quite monotonous reading all these straight through as I did, but there is some beautiful language to be found here. I do kind of wish I understood Hebrew, because I believe these psalms would be even more poetic in their original form.
