In this episode of the Tyndale House Cambridge podcast, Tony Watkins is joined by three long-term readers who are all working on PhDs at Cambridge University. Ellie Wiener is currently studying the book of Job, Megan Alsene-Parker is studying Lamentations, and Ben Rae is studying Ecclesiastes. Together, they discuss what poetry actually is, the features of Hebrew poetry, and why we should spend time digging into biblical poetry.

This episode made me think of the recent pair of articles by Wendland and Grosser in the Journal of Translation: On Biblical Hebrew Poetry: New Critique and Response Articles in JOT (Wendland, Grosser 2024).
