First, I should note these lectures are divided over 2 mp3 files; you can find the second here.
Second, I had a chance to finish listening to the whole session while driving to and from Calhan (east of Colorado Springs) yesterday. Peter Leithart's lecture adds liturgy to the ecclesiastical perspective, and he contributes some interesting comments in the panel discussion. I was especially intrigued by his suggestion that the Church's present-day condition may mirror the historical patterns of the Israel-Judah divide as described in 1-2 Kings. I've tended to look at the Restoration era, as described by Isaiah and Ezra-Nehemiah, but this also strikes me as a fruitful area for reflection.
In said panel discussion, Darryl Hart helpfully reminded us that the Psalms must always be sung with an eschatological orientation. At the same time, Michael Horton unfortunately suggested that some of the Psalms should not be sung by the Church today, betraying a Klinean practical dispensationalism found in too many Westminster California graduates (and now, distressingly, professors).
