Psalmody

Thoughts on the Psalms and Other Matters Spiritual

Toddy Hoare

Where is God in any situation? Well might the psalmist ask, as well we might in our own time. In penning a sonnet on each psalm, Toddy Hoare has sought to reduce each to a manageable size for a template for further spiritual reflection. The additional fifty-five sonnets setting out to do the same were sparked mostly by sitting in on Oxpeace seminars while in Oxford from 2007 to 2023. None are a substitute for the Psalms but a supplement to prompt thought and stimulate prayer. This collection is aimed at anyone interested in or using the Scriptures as well as those involved more professionally as priest, professor, pastor, and student. Psalmody sets out to assure with a taster those daunted by the Psalms, but inevitably attracted to them, that they can be understood, enjoyed and used for meditation and worship. The collection points to a format for further adaptation to the spiritual life as well as molding us as they did our Lord's life and ministry in their original form.
