"Psalm
1: Two Ways of Life," by Greg Herrick at the Biblical
Studies Foundation.
| "The goal of meditation is to know
God better and to apply his word to our lives. This reaches well beyond just knowing facts
about the Bible. It calls us to trust the God of the Bible." |
|
| "Two
Ways of Life: Psalm 1," by J. Hampton Keathley III at the Biblical Studies Foundation.
| "As I observe much of the church
today, at first glance it looks like wheat, but on closer observation, it is often more
like the chaff that the wind drives about with every wind of the various doctrines of man
and the modernity of our secular society. My dear friends, make the powerful Word the
foundation of your life and ministry and get involved in ministries where the Word is
truly the heart and soul of that church." |

| Psalm 1 in
A Psalm for All Seasons -
Studies in the Book of Psalms by Robert L. Deffinbaugh at the Biblical Studies
Foundation.
| "If the man who
is blessed of God is the one who chooses to abide in the Word of God, let us begin abiding
in the Psalms. The blessed man was not the man who read commentaries about the Scriptures
or who listened to sermons, but the man who was personally studying the Word of God for
himself." |

Interpretations of Psalm 1 in Luther and in Modern German Protestantism," Uwe
F.W. Bauer in The Journal of Hebrew Scriptures, Volume 2, Article 2 (1998).
| "If one were to look for a common basis of the anti-Jewish statements of
these exegetes, a decisive factor, in my opinion, is Christology, more specifically, the
Reformation’s justification-Christology with its
exclusivistic, anti-Jewish configuration." |
