S2E14 "The Psalms" (Part 2)


Listen Later

Exploring C. S. Lewis' essay "The Psalms" which was a precursor to his 1958 book Reflections on the Psalms. In the second part of the essay, Lewis explains how Christians need a paradigm shift to see the Psalms of judgment differently. They are more like scripts that help us approach God as the woman in the parable of the Unjust Judge (Luke 18) who knows she is in the right, if only she could get her case heard. Sean and Jordan wrestle with how uncomfortable it makes us as Christians to come to God in prayer, claiming to be standing in righteousness — ironic, right? Well, helpfully, Lewis suggests the Psalms might lead us to the Righteousness that belongs to Another.
