How Normal Christianity Found In The Psalms Is An Urgent Need

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.

The modern civilization referred here is probably the old Roman proconsulate of Iudea, which allowed a Jewish figurehead king. The laws were made over and adapted to that present. Beauty was made to come into the picture, with everything that the human mind could come up with, trying its best to imagine a heaven on earth creative by a civilization of the true and the law abiding.

The concepts being discussed probably needed two Christian millennia to be accepted as a normal way of seeing for all humans. However wars had to be fought, generations wasted and misfits born, evil taking over kings and emperors and their retinues before people realized what was wrong. The correct concepts could have been hardwired on the racial consciousness by mountains of dead bodies and rivers of blood running from them, and many wastelands.

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.

Normal Christianity is tasked to accomplish a very hard task, that of being the steadfast connection to the historical continuity of living as peacefully and harmoniously as possible, something that is probably well accomplished. But contemporary concerns still have need of more things done. It means that Psalms is still the most basic dynamic for all Christians to access.

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.

Perhaps the best Bibles available today are the NASB or the NRSV, and you can do some referencing with the King James Bible. The Good Books available nowadays are all standards in history or the academe. Copies of these are often distributed free by Christian missions.
