2021 Catholic Media Association Award second place award in
academic studies In this close reading of Psalms 90-150, Nancy L.
deClaisse-Walford discovers meanings in the Psalms that were "there
all along" but hidden beneath layers of interpretation built up
over the centuries. Approaching the canonical storyline of the
Psalter with feminist-critical lenses, she reads against the
dominant mind-set, refuses to accept the givens, and seeks to
uncover a hidden/alternate/parallel set of societal norms.
DeClaisse-Walford attends to how context affects the way hearers
appropriate the Psalter's words: women, for the most part, hear
differently than men; women of privilege differently than women
living in poverty. Her interchanges with students and scholars in
post-apartheid South Africa bring the biblical text alive in new
ways for today's believers.
