My thanks to Tyler Livingston for putting the following video together from my May 2011 Expound Symposium presentation. The title of my paper was “Ascending into the Hill of the Lord: The Psalms as a Key to Understanding the Rituals of the First Temple.” Tyler has nicely worked in the power-point images from my presentation, so you don’t have to sit there for 44 minutes just watching me speak. Yes, I did say 44 minutes — and no, I’ve never been accused of being long-winded…
I share this video in memory of Matthew Brown, who was responsible for running the symposium. Many thanks also to Jeffrey Bradshaw for his feedback and helpful advice as I was preparing the paper. I also benefited from having had the opportunity to present a version of this paper to the Biblical Studies Seminar at the University of St Andrews beforehand and appreciate all the helpful feedback received there from colleagues and faculty.

My name is (Dr) Tomás García Huidobro, a jesuit priest, who is working in Novosibirsk. Thanks a lot for this video. Very clear. Very interesting. Is there any posibility to have access to the paper? I´m writting a small book and I want to quote it. I would like to thank you also for your blog, it is fantastic. God bless you!!
Thank you, Dr Huidobro. I went to Marquette University, which is Jesuit.
This speech has not yet been published in written form. If you would like, you can cite it as a conference paper. If that doesn’t work for you, please let me know.
