This presentation by Dr Jamie Grant explores the foundational importance of true lament in the Christian life as seen in Scripture.

This presentation was the first of three in a KLC Online Event hosted in partnership with the Scripture and Hermeneutics Seminar based around the theme: How Can We Sing a Song in a Strange Land? The Hermeneutics of Song, Poetry and Lament in the 21st Century.

Dr Jame Grant is Vice-Principal (Academic) and Lecturer in Biblical Studies at Highland Theological College, University of the Highlands and Islands. He has published extensively on the Book of Psalms, including co-authoring the NIVAC commentary on Psalms (v. 2, Zondervan, 2018).

The Kirby Laing Centre for Public Theology in Cambridge is an academic research centre that seeks to foster Christian scholarship and do public theology across the disciplines, in a way that is rooted in spirituality and practiced in community, for the glory of God and the good of the church and world.
