2025 Summer Series: The Psalms are a window into the heart, a sweeping panorama of life’s emotions, and a divine guide for how to interpret our experiences. In his 1557 commentary, John Calvin rightly described the Psalms as “An Anatomy of the Soul.” As he explains, “I have been accustomed to call this book, I think not inappropriately, An Anatomy of the Soul; for there is not an emotion of which anyone can be conscious that is not here represented as in a mirror. Or rather, the Holy Spirit has here drawn to the life all the griefs, sorrows, fears, doubts, hopes, cares, perplexities, in short, all the distracting emotions with which the minds of men are wont to be agitated.”
