Reflections on the Psalms

By: C. S. Lewis

Narrated by: Ralph Cosham

In one of his most enlightening works, C.S. Lewis shares his ruminations on both the form and the meaning of selected psalms. In the introduction he explains, "I write for the unlearned about things in which I am unlearned myself." Consequently, he takes on a tone of thoughtful collegiality as he writes on one of the Bible's most elusive books.

Characteristically graceful and lucid, Lewis cautions us that the psalms were originally written as songs that should now be read in the spirit of lyric poetry rather than as doctrinal treatises or sermons. Drawing from daily life as well as the literary world, Lewis begins to reveal the mystery that often shrouds the psalms.

another great work by C.S. Lewis

as always I believe the C.S. Lewis brings a unique perspective to the texts of the Christian faith. I find this work deeply thought provoking, which is needed in the study of God's word.

Vital and Alive

This is an essential touch stone in my study of the Psalter. The topics and questions that Mr. Lewis discusses help to push me back to the text to reflect and to hold on for even more insight and understanding. He even dares to link this work to the great mythologies and philosophy through allegory, thus releasing the pressure of separation a bit. Dr. T.

New Perspective

An enjoyable and insightful new way to read the book of Psalms and other parts of the Bible.

Good Read

At times I was lost due to content but overall good and insightful perspective.

Cs Lewis depth and humility

Narrator did a good job. Good pace. Wonderful for CS Lewis fans. Cutting through humble wisdom.
