Reflections on the Psalms
Ratings8
Average rating3.9
A repackaged edition of the revered author’s moving theological work in which he considers the most poetic portions from Scripture and what they tell us about God, the Bible, and faith. In this wise and enlightening book, C. S. Lewis—the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and bestselling author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics—examines the Psalms. As Lewis divines the meaning behind these timeless poetic verses, he makes clear their significance in our daily lives, and reminds us of their power to illuminate moments of grace.

I feel as though I didn't take this in fully, reading it in a scattered way as an e-book. It would be better to take time to study and reflect on it and maybe someday I will have the chance to do that.
I do appreciate Lewis's logical way of looking at and expressing things and yet spiritually I find it increasingly dissatisfying. He's just so VERY logical. I wish at times for some chaos and disruption to shake up his ordered mind, or for him to reveal more of his personal, inner life than the generalities he tends to stick to. However, also lots to ponder and some lovely lines here. That's why I need to sit down with time and a notebook to really do it justice.
Book Review: Reflections on the Psalms by CS Lewis - I picked it up in part because it is only $2.24 on kindle. But it is a good introduction to the Psalms both as a book of prayers that have been used by Christians to pray for generations and as biblical literature. Lewis was a professor of literature, so bought a pretty sophisticated (but readable) background to what for most Christians is just a book of poetry and nice sayings.
