Story Lines: Songs, Part 1

God must love singing because of the number of songs in the Bible. So how many songs are in the Bible? (If you know that the book of Psalms is all songs, you can guess that there are at least 150 songs!) But more important than the number of songs in the Bible, we need to ask: Why are there songs, and what's their significance?

Join Dr. Bruce Becker for another deep dive into the Bible. Dr. Becker explains how we can't understand the songs in the Bible without first understanding poetry. But not just any poetry—Hebrew poetry. It is very different from the English poetry we're familiar with. By understanding the songs of the Bible, we can experience the power and love of God.

About our podcast "Bible Threads With Dr. Bruce Becker":

The Bible can be intimidating, right? There are 66 different books, more than 700,000 words, and all of it was written over a period of 1,600 years by dozens of different authors. How do we make sense of it all, and what does it mean for our lives? Amazingly, the Bible is incredibly interconnected with “threads” that run through it from beginning to end. In this podcast, Bible scholar and author Dr. Bruce Becker will uncover these threads, help you dig deeper into God’s truth, and inspire you to live your life with greater confidence and joy.

Dr. Becker brings his vast experience to share with you through this podcast. He has served as the pastor of a mission start in New York State; lead pastor of a church in Brillion, Wisconsin; and a ministry coach to churches and schools.
