Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Theology - Biblical Theology, grade: A-, course: ADVANCED HERMENEUTICS, language: English, abstract: The historical context of each Bible event is relevant to the understanding, interpretation and application of the biblical text. This is because the Bible was written in a context. Neglecting the historical context from which the Bible was written will lead to the misapplication of the biblical message. The book of Psalms was composed from different contexts. To this effect, the historical context of the Psalms will be of immense help in understanding the message of the Psalms especially the imprecatory Psalms.
