Annual ProPsalm seminar held

At the University of Pretoria there is a strong exegetical tradition with, inter alia, emphasis on the Psalms. Since 2003 a project was started at UP to internationalise and contextualise the study of the Psalms by means of a seminar. In view of various international cooperation relationships between the University of Pretoria and other international theological institutions this project was seen as a means to contribute to the local and international theological debate. Another aim of the seminar is to develop the debate into discussions between Old Testament and various other disciplines of theology and religion. Furthermore, an important vision of the ProPsalm seminar is to involve very good international Old Testament subject specialists in the project.

One of the intentions of the ProPsalm seminar is not only to involve European and Western orientated theological paradigms, but also to include African voices and paradigms.
