Lewis writes here about the difficulties he has met or the joys he has gained in reading the Psalms. He points out that the Psalms are poems, intended to be sung, not doctrinal treatises or sermons. Proceeding with his characteristic grace, he guides readers through both the form and the meaning of these beloved passages in the Bible.

I remember the first lecture I had on a third year paper on the Psalms - we talked about Mowinckel & Gunkel, form criticism, enthronement ceremonies and cultic liturgy - I wanted to commit hari kari right there.
Thankfully Lewis doesn't take this approach. He notes the psalms are poetry, not doctrinal treatises. He speaks honestly about what he fins there - the anger & vitriol, the beauty, the faith. Not a scholarly work (although, too me, all of Lewis's work seems scholarly), but a good read nonetheless. Not exhaustive, he chooses to look at particular psalms.
