Auden, the Psalms, and Me
Presenter: J. Chester Johnson
Our Advent I speaker will be J. Chester Johnson. He, along with the eminent W. H. Auden, served as one of the two poets on the drafting committee for the re-translation of the psalms contained in the current Book of Common Prayer of the Episcopal Church. Mr. Johnson’s book, Auden, the Psalms, and Me, which tells the story of this re-translation, an extensive project completed over a twelve-year period ending in 1979, was published by Church Publishing in 2017 and soon became one of its bestsellers.
