How Normal Christianity Found In The Psalms Work

By Mark Reed


Poetry was a very important communication tool for elder societies, a device using rhyme or meter for mnemonic purposes. The Word as history was once an oral standard, and priests were tasked to keep all of it in memory, and beauty came in at a later date. As luck would have it, the poetics and beauty have a good fit, so that the range for verse was extended to encompass all concepts.

From the earliest groups, Christianity was bequeathed the hearth laws, which were reasonable and also connected to universal laws. Many if not all of these in original verse would have a familial quality with normal Christianity found in the Psalms. It is not surprising to find how the concepts found there are a vital base for evolved laws and precepts found in New Testament.

Iudea is probably the contemporary civilization being referenced here, the Roman territory run by a royal Jewish proxy. Those laws, then, conformed to the definitions of the contemporaneity. And beauty was in full use, the mind stretching towards a vision of how life could be heavenly when all the tenets are followed by an entire human civilization.

These concepts took a couple of millennia to become a normal standard for most humans living on this planet. There were numerous wars, misfit generations, and loads of evil designs worked into kingdoms and empires, with attached wrongminded philosophies before humans awoke to what is right. Perhaps it took the bone mountains, blood rivers and shattered nations to hardwire tribal memories with the said concepts.

Normal Christianity is all about celebrating life, happiness and love. The exact values that David tried his best to make strong every time he sang, and even through the dark lens of nations committing murder as an accepted way of life throughout the Fertile Crescent during his time. This last Christian redaction before the second Christian millennia was perhaps the most important.

If the normal Christianity in Psalms has done nothing else but keep people of faith anchored to the original precepts for living in peace and harmony through the worst times, then its mission has been accomplished. However, there is still much to be accomplished in these terms. So the Psalms and its teachings must retain a paramount dynamic in the life of all Christians today.

The Psalms of David has a lot of related scholarship done. Plus, it is best to remember the possible redaction during the time of Christ, because together with beauty, it also took on elements of realpolitik, further differentiating from old history verse. The point can be made here how the literary craft was given a boost here, and the differentiation between verse and poetics became clearer, with histories being verse, and poetry having the beauty element.

Literature took off in many different directions from there, but many of these were often tied to the history of Christians. The faithful need to continuously study the part of the Bible discussed here. And the opportunity to be able to have a broader understanding of these is its own reward.

The most useful Bibles to read are probably the NRSV or NASB, with some referencing to old King James passages. Nowadays, though, all kinds of Bibles available are often a certain standard preferred for historical or academic concerns. Free copies are distributed by many groups.
