Beth Ensley: Bought one for a gift then reordered for myself. If you savor CS Lewis writings, this is a keeper. A morning read or bedtime study, drawing nearer to God is his purpose.

Antje (Dutchie): Reflections on the Psalms is een geweldig werk van C.S. Lewis dat ik op papier al meerdere malen heb gelezen. Helaas is er geen enkele aandacht aan de elektronische versie besteed zodat het eigenlijk totaal onleesbaar is op de Kindle. Elk apostrof en alle aanhalingstekens worden €$% en dergelijke. Dit boek staat vol met citaten (uit de psalmen) die allemaal omgeven zijn door willekeurige tekens. Een aanfluiting.

med-martin: very insightful man, good book, great thinker. Not mainstream evangelical text understanding (at least for the old testament but nonetheless highly readable and worth thinking about.

MereChristian: When one begins reading the book Reflections on the Psalms, by CS Lewis, one reads the author's initial disclaimer that the book is not a serious work of theology. Lewis notes that it is his rambling ideas and personal "reflections" that he explored in his own private devotions. This is an important caution he gave his readers, as he knew that some may take his words for the best interpretation, and he feared that often this would be a spiritual error for them.

That said, he did have some expertise that many theologians do not have. His knowledge of the medieval, training in interpretation of literature, and knowledge of language, allowed him to put forth truths that many modern readers, even trained theologians, miss. The part that makes this exceptionally helpful, Lewis' disclaimer notwithstanding, is that he persuasively argues that the older, more literally true, interpretations, and the newer interpretations, are equally valid. The reason being that the Lord can reveal His will to people and reveal Himself to folks via His "Natural Law", and so the literal meaning can be given by God in such a way that alludes to, and even obviously speaks of, or predicts, the equally...

Scott Fillmer: Overall, an outstanding look at the Psalter. This review a shortened version of my full review, which can be found on my website if anyone is interested in more detail.

In the text by C. S. Lewis, Reflections on the Psalms, Lewis writes from a self proclaimed, people's point of view, "avoiding controversial questions as much as possible", with the intention of providing his readers with a contemplative book, on certain Psalm sections, so as to remove some of the mysteries that surround the great poems.1 Although Reflections was widely criticized at the time of it's release, today, more than fifty years since the original publication date in September 1958, Reflections remains a popular and valuable resource when examining the Psalms. While not "an apologetic work" by Lewis, Reflections has firmly rooted it's place in modern literature, as a place to "feed" and understand God's word.2 This critique will briefly examine the context in which Reflections was written, a summary of the overall content, and attempt to identify some of the strengths and weaknesses of this classic book.
