Book Description
Reflections on the Psalms is C. S. Lewis’s thoughtful engagement with the biblical Book of Psalms, written from the perspective of a literary scholar and Christian layman rather than a theologian. Lewis reflects on themes such as praise, worship, justice, suffering, and the troubling “cursing” psalms, approaching them with honesty, curiosity, and intellectual humility. Combining close reading with personal reflection, the book invites readers to encounter the Psalms as living poetry that speaks to human emotion, morality, and faith.
