Hebrew scholar and Anglican priest, Matthew Anstey is translating the Psalter for liturgical use in Australian churches and beyond. In this public lecture, Dr Anstey will share his translation of several psalms showing how his translations differ from the versions found in A Prayer Book for Australia (1995), identifying the interaction of theological, musical, scholarly, and cultural concerns in this important work.
Matthew will be focusing on Psalms 126, 87, 123, and 51, for those who would like to reflect on them beforehand.
