PRINSLOO, G.T.M.. From desperation to adoration: Reading Psalm 107 as a transforming spatial journey. Acta theol. [online]. 2021, vol.41, suppl.32, pp.392-425. ISSN 2309-9089.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18820/23099089/actat.sup32.22.

Critical spatiality opens avenues to investigate the transforming power of the authors/redactors of the Hebrew Bible's spatial imagination. I read Psalm 107 as a spatial journey bridging the divide between the desperation of the exile and the longing of the Psalter's post-exilic authors/ redactors for Israel's complete restoration and the universal adoration of Yhwh. Psalm 107 plays a crucial role in the transition between Books IV (Pss. 90-106) and V (Pss. 107-145) and acts as a "bridge" between the desperation of the exile and the call to the universal adoration of Yhwh in the post-exilic period. Psalm 107 hints at a continuous transforming spatial journey between present realities and the longed-for eschatological establishment of a universal, divine kingdom.
