Abstract: 'The Psalms are the great treasury of Judeo-Christian spirituality, retaining their capacity to resonate even for those of us whose path is not within mainstream religion....Many individuals find them to be vital companions in moments of both suffering and joy. This is because they reflect the archetypal experience of the numinosum, which always and everywhere results in an alteration of character.'
