“…This means that one is to observe and appreciate its complexities without recourse to neat generalities; after all, if '[poetry] should not simplify,' then neither should its readers. 82 Second and similarly, one should read Psalm 98 with imagination.…”

The ‘redress of poetry as poetry,’ means, according to the Irish poet and Noble Prize winner Seamus Heaney, an awareness of ‘an eminence established and a pressure exercised by distinctly linguistic means.’ Poetry, he asserts, ‘is the imagination pressing back against the pressure of reality.’ The imagination of Psalms poetry needs to be rediscovered. This has begun with the monumental book by Dobbs-Allsopp (2015). Yet, more work is needed. This article explores how the Psalter, being poetry, makes claims to and on the imagination, reality, and the confluence thereof. It is an attempt to see how the redress of Psalms poetry might refine our reading of the biblical book. Psalm 98 serves as key illustration.

In considering the current COVID-19 pandemic as a moment of reflection on a wide variety of issues, this paper discusses the need to rethink the curriculum, in regard to its priorities and in the context of education for sustainability. It does so by revisiting some ideas that have received, or have begun to receive, attention in the field of education. More specifically, the paper focuses on the development of global awareness as an educational goal, the notion of hope and the future dimension of the curriculum, the value of systems and ecological thinking, as well as the value of decision making and the role that knowledge of the nature of science can play in decision making. Given that the world will most likely face in the future complex global issues and problems, just like the COVID-19 pandemic, all the aforementioned ideas deserve particular attention, especially if the curriculum is to promote and foster the idea of sustainability.
