There’s a lot going on in this section, including the great Psalm Jesus himself cited from the cross, Psalm 22 (Vulgate 21).

As mentioned in the episode, I did an exhibit on this Psalm for the Visual Commentary on Scripture. If you’d like to dig more into the theology of the Psalm and my claim that it should be viewed not as a cry of dereliction, but as a cry of faith, check it out here: https://thevcs.org/great-cry.

As always, feel free to comment here or in the Facebook group to keep the conversation going!

* You can download the reading plan as a pdf here.

* The music in the introduction is Auf, schmetternde Töne der muntern Trompeten (“Awake, Blaring Sounds of Lively Trumpets!”) (BWV 207a) by Johann Sebastian Bach. The piece was probably premiered in 1735. This recording is made by Brass of an arrangement for brass quintet by Hubert Meixner.

* The image for this episode is the beginning of the Gospel of Mark from the Codex Amiatinus Vulgate, held in the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana (available here).
