The book of Psalms is often drawn upon as a deep well of emotionally connecting literature, in time of praise and of great sorrow, for Christian communities and individuals.

Delving into the history of the Psalter, Dr. Daniel Berkovic engages in the discussion of understanding of the ""psalmist"" as individual or corporate to illuminate the distinction between piety in the personal and the private. Questions on the nature of religious and emotional experience, Israelite anthropology and the Hebrew concept of person, and the capacity of poetic language to convey meaning in these, are addressed adeptly through a variety of disciplines. This detailed study provides fresh insight on piety and emotion expressed in the Psalms, and is a valuable addition to psalmist scholarship.

Reviews for Personal and Private Religious Experience in the Biblical Psalms

The central problem this study focuses on is the existence of the poetic subject/narrator of the psalms as a physical and spiritual being. The author's fundamental thesis is well-argued from the perspective of cognitive linguistics and is illustrated with many appropriate quotations from the Bible. Boris Beck, PhD Associate Professor, Faculty of Political Science, University of Zagreb, Croatia This is a valuable biblical-theological research text. It is a work that makes an important contribution to the anthropological study of biblical figures and, in this case, of the psalmist King David. This study is primarily aimed at the wider scholarly community, particularly in the field of theology and biblical studies, but I believe it will be of great interest to a wider readership interested in the Bible. Rabbi Professor Kotel Dadon Chair of Judaic Studies, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb, Croatia
