A HERMENEUTICAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF PSALMS

Paul Tseng

I apply Gadamer’s view of historicity to undergo a hermeneutical understanding of the historical significance of Psalms, which narrates Israelites’ history including creation, the patriarchs, Egyptian bondage, Sinai, the wilderness, conquest, life in the land, and the exile and return.  Gadamer’s concept of history composed of universal history, the concept of power, and the concept of Spirit are applied to explain the historical significance of Psalms. In terms of Christianity, which emerges as the centerpiece of the historical view of Western tradition, human history moves towards unity and freedom under the supreme sovereignty of Spirit, Who makes history.
