    Praying the Psalms

    An Introduction.

    Many years ago, back in the days when I was in Seminary, I picked up an Interlinear Hebrew-English Psalter. It’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. It’s a small, slim volume, a 1974 Zondervan reprint of a much older edition published by Samuel Bagster & Sons Ltd. in London. The correct title is: The Interlineary Hebrew and English Psalter in which The Construction of Every Word is Indicated, and the Root of Each Distinguished by the Use of Hollow or Other Types.

    I liked the little book immediately, because it is printed in a way that clearly indicated the Hebrew roots and constructions. I knew immediately that I’d made a good purchase. But, it was many years before I actually put it to any regular use. Somewhere, some time, I learned to use the Psalms as my Prayer Book.

    Site Update 12-26-2024

    Internet

    The blog that I have been using with my web site needed a radical revision. In fact, what it needed was replacement. As I understand it, this is related to advances in the PHP scripting language — a language used by WordPress.

    This is an all-new blog with an all-new address: https://blog.craigladams.com/

    Since much of the content on my web site was from the blog, deleting the old blog (which I have done) has broken a large number of the links on the web site as a whole. Much of the information and opinion that was here, is no longer here. I am sorry, but replacing the old blog with this new one is something that had to be done. Material from the old blog will be replaced and updated over time — but, we may be talking about a long time.

    My intention is to add articles that I believe have an ongoing interest to the Articles page — to keep something like this from happening again. (Although, since I am 75 years old at this point, I may not have to worry about another update like this one — I may not live that long!)

    As it stands, I am quite a way from getting this up and running. I am still experimenting with themes and designs, and am not yet ready to add content. So, this thing may look different from day to day, as I continue to experiment.

    This web site is, quite frankly, a vanity site. It’s a personal project. I make no money from this (as it stands) and it costs me money to keep it up and running. I just hope it has been helpful to some people — and will continue to be helpful in the future.
