Synopsis

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.

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.

From the Back Cover:

"We delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment; it is its appointed consummation." In Reflections on the Psalms, C. S. Lewis examines the mysterious and beloved Psalms to
reveal the timeless meaning behind these ancient and cherished verses. With his characteristic insightfulness and clarity, Lewis displays what the Chicago Sunday Tribune called "the same keen insight and gifted tongue that have made him one of the most highly respected essayists using the English language."
