دانلود کتاب Reflections on the Psalms – بازتاب در مزمورها

We delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment; it is its appointed consummation.

The Psalms were written as songs; we should read them as poetry, in the spirit of lyric, not as sermons or instructions. But they are also shrouded in mystery, and in this careful reading from one of our most trusted fellow travelers, C.S. Lewis helps us begin to reveal their meaning in our daily lives and in the world. Reflecting again and anew on these beloved passages, we can find both joy and difficulty, but also, always, real enlightenment and moments of transcendent grace.
