Toddy Hoare

Psalmody (eBook, ePUB)

Thoughts on the Psalms and Other Matters Spiritual

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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.

Autorenporträt

Toddy Hoare trained as a sculptor, served as a soldier, and spent time with the Missions to Seamen in the Europoort, Holland, before ordination and twenty-five years as a rural parish priest in North Yorkshire (known locally as Herriotshire, since the author lived in the same group of five parishes), illustrating Scripture with sculpture and, latterly, on retirement, with poetry, some based on peace studies in Oxford. He is now back home in North Yorkshire.
