Shakespeare’s Pericles and Psalm 39

Most theological attention to Shakespeare’s late plays treats their religious dimension as a marker of transcendence or otherworldliness. Here, instead, I suggest that Shakespeare is tracing the emotional stages of loss through his use of the funeral psalm 39 (with more than a hint of the Passion ps...
