In 'Reflections on the Psalms', C.S. Lewis addresses various puzzles and difficulties that modern Christian readers might encounter when reading the Psalms. The book is organized into sections that examine themes such as judgment, cursing, death, the beauty of the Lord, and the use of nature in the Psalms. Lewis tackles these topics in a conversational and engaging style, providing insights into how Christians can draw spiritual nourishment from the Psalms despite their sometimes challenging content. He discusses the imprecatory Psalms, the Old Testament view of death, and the psalmists' delight in God's law, among other topics, and offers interpretations that help readers understand and appreciate the Psalms more deeply.
