Abstract

A few years ago, I was asked to speak at an academic conference on
worldview in the Old Testament. This led to an interesting conversation
with a colleague who asked me what topic I was speaking on at the event.
“Worldview in the Psalms,” I replied. “Oh, that shouldn’t take long ...
surely, there is no such thing as a worldview in the Psalms” came the
reply, initiating an interesting discussion.
The surprising aspect of this conversation is that my colleague is a
card-carrying Dooyeweerdian with strong Kuyperian tendencies. 1 His
frame of reference thoroughly affirms the inescapable reality of a her -
meneutical worldview that shapes our basic thinking about the most
fundamental aspects of life and human experience. Why therefore the
skepticism regarding the presence of worldview in the Psalms.
