Summary of C. S. Lewis's Reflections on the Psalms

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Psalms were written by many poets and at many different dates. Some are allowed to go back to the reign of David, while others are later than the Babylonian Captivity. Nothing more needs to be said about chronology in a scholarly work, but it is important in a book like this.

#2 The Psalms are poems, and must be read as such. They are not doctrinal treatises, nor even sermons. Those who talk of reading the Bible as literature often mean reading it without regard for its main point.

#3 The Psalms are not doctrinal treatises, nor sermons. They are poems, and should be read as such. They are not practical guides.

#4 This book is not an apologetic work. I am not trying to convince unbelievers that Christianity is true. I am writing for those who already believe, or those who are ready to suspend their disbelief while reading.
