Reflections on the Psalms by C. S. Lewis

Vintage Lewis. A fine vintage indeed. He deals with the imprecatory Psalms, with inerrancy (interesting but I am so bold as to disagree. I think one can accept the literary caveats without accepting "errors" and "contradictions." I think he well states the problem and correctly treats Job, Song of Solomon, Ecclesiastes, perhaps even the creation account).

His two pages on Psalm 19 are wonderful. His discussion of the Emmaus Road sermon (unknown but apparent) is delightful in its view of scripture applied.

His discussion about why the OT and NT are a hodgepodge is, I think, right on the mark.

I need to buy this book! For library.
