Holding Fast To The Psalms – Stories From Hungary Beth Lantinga
The following is quoted from the online journal Reformed Worship and the article Holding Fast To The Psalms – Stories From Hungary by Beth Lantinga
“The book of Psalms, embodied in the Genevan Psalter, has nourished Reformed Christians for centuries. This spiritual heritage has a special place in the hearts of Hungarian Reformed believers who have survived the harsh years of Communist repression and domination. Their stories testify to the influence of the psalms in the ordinary and extraordinary details of their lives. In a recent set of interviews with Reformed believers in Hungary, I asked what the psalms meant to them. Some of those interviewed were surprised that I would even ask whether the Psalter was important for them, because the answer was obvious–of course! They had been wrapped in the tapestry of faith into which the Genevan Psalter was woven–in some places obvious and clear, in others as a deep background color–but always present.”
The whole article is well worth reading and discusses how the Psalms are conveyed through the Family, Congregation, and Summer Music Camps.
The website GenevanPsalter.com has English versions of these Psalms.
