This short film documents the friendship between Bono (lead musician 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 have kept me honest about life. John Calvin, the sixteenth century Reformer, taught that the "psalms contain all the anatomy of the human soul." And I'm bound to a spiritual tradition that teaches me to stay connected to God by staying connected to my soul through practicing the poetry of prayer in the Psalms.

Learning to live into this rugged "hymnal" of spiritual poetry we call the Psalms is what can help us become what St Ireneus envisioned: "The glory of God is a human being fully alive."

Fully alive that's what we all seek. And fully alive is what the Psalms want to make of us.

In this video, Bono and Eugene Peterson reflect on how modern people can find a path into life through the ancient poetry of the Psalms.
