Angers, France - This is a lecture and interactive class that is effectively focused on literary / poetic analysis of Psalms. Each class we learn specific ways to analyze a Psalm and glean and greater theological meaning from it, and then practice in small groups and share with the class. Furthermore, each student picks their own small to work on at home throughout the semester, with a student from time to time presenting to the class their progress, and the final grade is a analysis and commentary of a student's own psalm with sources. All in French
