ABSTRACT Psalm 22 occupied a central place in the minds of the Gospel writers as they shaped the Passion Narrative and continues to occupy a central place within the liturgies of Holy Week. Drawing on the SIFT reader-perspective approach to biblical hermeneutics, the present study explores the contemporary reading of this Psalm through the Jungian lenses of intuition and feeling by groups of Methodist ministers and Methodist local preachers a week before Holy Week. The conclusion is drawn that leaders of liturgy who prefer thinking need to be aware of the powerful impact of this Psalm on feeling types, for whom the unrelenting mood of darkness may be disturbing.
