Title:

Description:

Sermon start time: 24:36. Sermon end time: 47:19.
Preaching on Psalm 137, a psalter of Israelites’ pain and grief during exile, the preacher argues that religious rage is real, honest, biblical, and a godly gesture of protest in defiance of the darkness. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
Key quotation: “When we edit out this psalm, we also edit out all of those abused women, and abused persons, and lost, homeless, alienated, angry people who do not feel at home, but who feel in exile. And where would they go to express their rage if they couldn’t come here?”
