This short film documents the friendship between Bono (of the band U2) and Eugene Peterson (author of contemporary-language Bible translation The Message) revolving around their common interest in the Psalms. Based on interviews conducted by Fuller Seminary faculty member David Taylor and produced in association with Fourth Line Films, the film highlights in particular a conversation on the Psalms that took place between Bono, Peterson, and Taylor at Peterson’s Montana home.

The Psalms are a song book for worship. For centuries, the Western church used the chant tradition to sing the Psalms, during the Reformation, Calvin turned to melody and poetry to put the psalms to words and music that could be sung by congregations. The Genevan Psalter is a collection of metrical psalms created by John Calvin for worship. Recovering the singing of the Psalms in congregational worship was one of the legacies of the reformation. Today, singing the psalms is a way to keep worship fresh yet grounded. This link to a number of resources for worship teams to use in growing in our understanding of the Psalms in worship
