Field Notes From a Religion-Less Christian

“ ‘Can God set a table in the wilderness…?’ ” (Psalm 78)

What is this lengthy and elegiac poem and prayer that is Psalm 78 that recounts God as savior and destroyer of God’s own people, and then, yet, faithful in the end?

Why recount and remember all this Heilsgeschichte?

It must be about the faithfulness, the trustworthiness of a God who does not blink, let alone sleep, in the face of all created life. But, rather, does this: throws GodSelf into the maelstrom so as to provide, so as to providence, so as to set a table in the wilderness.
