I have often found it difficult to find
someone in federal prison. This link: inmate search
that sort of started me in in the right trajectory for my search.

How are you doing on the paper so far? I am sorry I was unable to respond. Here is a link to my course Syllabus that includes a section on how to write a good paper on a Psalms passage (or other OT book passage) Historical & Poetic Books Syllabus

I am in dire straits or so I think. I am taking a 200 level Old Testament Class. I thought it would be enlightening and the study of history and the Bible was going to be “educational.” The class has proven to be an obstacle between me and graduating. The professor appears to be speaking in a foreign language and now I have this paper and have no clue as to what it means. Well, I am down to the last few weeks of class and have been given an assignment to write a 5 page Exegetical Analysis Paper. I have chosen Psalm 23:4-6. All I can do is sit here and look at the words. At this point I am failing the class. I would greatly appreciative if you could guide me in a direction that I can understand.
Thank you,
Dolly

I would suggest checking out my post on “Knowing” (yada) God in the old Testament. http://truthandpurpose.com/2011/02/knowing-god-in-the-old-testament

I will have to read it and do a review on it. Thanks for your comments!

There are though “right” readings, and when reading with sincerity in faith, yours will be perfect

I was researching the term “shadow of death” and came across your paper. However, I think the commentaries are completely wrong. I’m reading a book by Phillip Keller called “A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23″ and who describes all the phrases as phrases that are well known by shepherds. Well worth your time to review it.
Thanks,
Mike

Its now 2013, oviously. Just stumbled upon your blog surfing for “knowing God intimately- yada” I am very sure that the Lord was assuring you that even though the future out there is foggy,(for we walk by faith and not by sight and where we stand is always illumined by the light) you are still standing on solid ground. any other dream? God’s blessing on you

I too was disappointed by what Tom Honey said. I wish they could have better Christian representation on TED, but oh well.

After watching what I thought was going to be a great Christian response turn into a pantheistic whining I had to read a good solid reformed response. Like a man on fire I needed the cool clear water of life to wash over me. I haven’t read David Hart but after reading your quotes from his book I will have to put that on my must read book. Thanks for taking the time to write out such a well thought out and encompassing document.

Warm regards
