#44: Torah & Meditation - Reading Psalm 1 (LXX)

Has the practice of extended and uninterrupted attention become a lost art -- not least with respect to meditating on Scripture? In the first chapter of the Psalter, we learn that the godly person lives a life of meditation on Torah. In this episode, Matt takes listeners through this text and discusses ways in which the righteous life is contrasted with the unrighteous life. Matt also discusses how Psalm 1 accords with Paul's discussions about Torah in Romans. Pre-order Matt's newest book, The End of the World As You Know It here: ⁠⁠⁠Lexham Press⁠⁠⁠.
