Thank you from an old man that now has difficulty holding a book in shaky hands. You have enriched my life by your efforts to share the work of a beloved scholar.
I lost my son 2 days ago. He was only 44. Like CS Lewis when he lost his wife , even in the horror of the pain- the agony ! God is still near. Rest In Peace my Timothy.
Ooh! I am so sorry for your loss dear precious one❣️ My heart hurts for you. I am praying for you. I lost my brother 6 months ago. He was my world and my best friend. Im so thankful for Jesus! The ultimate Hero, the Champion who conquered both death and the grave! How great is our God! He is our Comfort and our Peace which passes understanding. Great is his faithfulness. He cares so much more for us than we could even comprehend. It’s seems you already know this truth. You are not alone. This is not the end. Praise be to our God who reigns now and forevermore. Amen. “For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities…shall be able to separate us…” ~Romans 8:38
I pray for all who are stressed or in pain-may you find comfort and clarity. Let peace envelop your life, and may your doubts and fears be replaced with positivity and faith. Amen.
The first two minutes of this reminds me of a pre-calculus teacher I had… everyone thought she was a terrible teacher and she was widely disliked. After some time, she changed our homework and forced us to do chapter outlines and copy examples from the book. I realized that she wasn’t terrible, but she was so smart that she didn’t understand how the students couldn’t understand the material. Essentially, she was too smart to understand our stupidity. lol 😂 She became one of my favorite teachers and I did very well in her class.
Charlotte Mason, a revolutionary educator, taught the importance of copywork, as well as narration. The idea is that the acts of copying, and reciting, and then putting those copies into our own words (either verbally, or written) is essential to learning anything. This concept is often missed in maths. Very often, math is taught as a formula or concept, and then immediately crosses over into practical application. Students would do very well to spend time in copying examples and memorizing them first, then narrating what they understand about those examples, and finally moving on to applying those concepts to new equations. It sounds like your teacher either knew this, or was learning it.
44:00 as a service man who has worn several different uniforms, over multiple decades of conflict, I remember when we were told Sadam was the new Hitler and that Osama was the new Hitler, and most recently that Trump was worse than hitler… I never considered that those actually going to fight Hitler didn’t see him as any worse than any other historic enemy. Today, our military seems to be returning to a dispassionate professionalism, but I have noticed over the last four years that there is a (for lack of a better word) negative side to the stoicism I see around me. “It is what it is,” is said by all parties from all walks of life, combined with many doing all that they can to max out their disability from military service (as opposed to leaving for those in truly dire need). Anyways, it’s a weird time for me.
No honor, there is no honor today. When anyone says to me it is what it is I always ask. What is? What is the what⁉️ just as a resistance to all that lazy futility. they really don’t know what they are talking about. They gave no sense of history, of how far we have come or not come! its a refusal to think to feel, to engage. Yeats says it best: “The best lack all conviction…” push back
I have come across people who specifically said that they are looking forward to Trump using the military to " get rid of" anyone who stands in his way and specifically Mexican immigrants and African- Americans. This scares me.
@@BeesWaxMinder The game is “The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.” In it he voices all the male characters of the Breton race. One in particular is named Jauffre and is important to the main quest. Because of this game being my first exposure to this narrator (Ralph Cosham aka Geoffrey Howard), I always picture Brother Jauffre reading C.S. Lewis out loud in his study.
First TWO minutes!! Listen to just that! & you’ll immediately know this man, C.S. Lewis to be an intellectual giant! His grasp of language, and ability to articulate and communicate so effectively on a subject. (A subject, that I myself personally, have have suffered much toil) as I too was once a teacher!! His writing never ceases to AMAZE!!

Thanks again for making these available. I find these so very interesting. I often go to the Psalms when I need to be lifted up. Absolutely will be viewing this many times.
Isn’t it AI generated? I recognize the voice from the video game Elder Scrolls Oblivion & Skyrim so I assume they took his voice clips and made it narrate this book with text to speech AI.
I never thought of it that way. When the sheep and the goats are separated, it is all about sins (or good deeds) of omission. I was hungry and you did not feed me. (Not that the others don't factor in ! )This is good. Thank you!
I must say first of all that I am very happy to have heard the first hour of this most dense and intense but also most philosophically beautiful book over the Psalms of Our Most Holy, Ever As Such Written Book in the Western World, The Holy Bible. I don’t think that there have been any other writer than Mr C.S.Lewis who could enter so delicately and so eloquently in the description of the entire Soul of the Psalms until now, he did a marvelous job, but I think that there are some interesting points which should be further illuminated. First of all, he tries to get a general idea or grip of all the Psalms in such a way that, by putting as precisely as possible the timeline and the belief-situation and belief- environment of the Jewish people, wherefrom these writings where originated, according to him, he tries to pin point why many for our times unbelievable or difficult to understand ways or expressions to explain some thoughts of the Psalm writers, should have been taken place, and he thinks that such a scholar way of understanding of the Psalms, as he certainly tried to do for himself, would also be acceptable and would also make clear to many other scholars like himself, and to people having completed their higher school studies, why these Psalms were written and with what an intention. I have my deepest objections for such a view. Knowing that Mr Lewis did struggle a long time, as an atheist, before coming to his Faith in God, something which can be seen as a continually occurring golf-like movement, comparing all with old, pre-Belief in One God periods, with the present Christian knowledge of the Same God, he makes a real unnecessary back and forth movement, giving to the unbeliever enough time and space for affirming his unbelief and for the real believer to question his faith in God. As a result of this, if he did not come to the point, and really didn’t sum up this two ways thinking in a positive and most understandable way at the end of each paragraph, I could never have the patience to listen until where I stopped to write this text, I don’t think really that this should be the right way to look at ANY Biblical Text, as we may nowadays read in any world languages. I am saying this, because I have never been an unbeliever, even in my younger years, wherein I did experiment with many Eastern Philosophical and Earth-bound methods, which should, according to many gurus, bring peace and happiness as well as lots of endurances and forces to your body, I came always back to my roots of Faith in God, without being able to encounter any of these attributes in these faraway methods which could make my Belief go astray or even cool down a little bit in my heart. With this basis, I must affirm and give my full advice to anyone struggling in the acceptance or in the understanding of this Most Holy and Most Beautiful Book called The Bible, to see and to read it, all of it’s chapters, from the Genesis until the Revelations, as the real Word of God, and to try to imagine that Our God, being a really Super and Endless Spirit, that no one can see, but Who has all the powers to Create not only this Earth with all its impossible to imagine complexity and even with you and me on it, but also the whole Universe around us, wherein we are even smaller than a piece of sand on an endless beach, He could only contact and give through any of His Holy Thoughts to us, humans, through other humans whom He could call and influence through His Most Holy Spirit, to do anything He wished they do or not to do, as well as in this process of Psalm writings. This means very short, that whenever we read those writings or any part of the Holy Bible through human eyes, completely biased by our daily lives, daily troubles and our defeats, all our expectations and our love affaires and our hatred’s and our physical shortcomings, we would never get to the point to be able to understand the very, the deepest meaning of it. Therefore, if anyone would really want to understand this beautiful Bible as it is meant to be understood, he or she must be “reborn” and become so close to God that we may be able to look at this Holy Script, through the Holy Eyes of the Holy Writer of it in it’s entirety’s. Naturally you should ask me how to do this impossible think, if you accept that Jesus Christ was and is the Only Son of God, and as His human reincarnation came to earth from Heaven, leaving only virtually His place as the second member of the Holy Trinity, and being in this context also God Himself and the writer of the whole Holy Bible, you and me, we don’t have anything else to do than taking Him as our Only Living Example and to live a Holy Life, exactly as He did, among us as a human being. Only by following Him and His teachings, through the whole New Testament, we may be really a Holy being and also “reborn” in a new person, acceptable to Him as His followers and disciples, something crucial to be worthy of Him and later, when our time comes, to see Him face to face, in the Heaven, to live the endless and marvelous life, without any back thoughts to our impossible lives on earth today. Mr C.S.Lewis knowing the impossibility to bring any of his readers to such a “Holy View Angle” before he ever put a line on his empty page, was obliged to take this meandering route to try to explain what he thought about the Book Of Psalms, which in my liking naturally gives the possibility to write this book easier for him but unfortunately, does not give any hint to the readers, how to read them by looking by the Holy Eyes of Christ Jesus, as I tried to explain.
It's so true, frank and honest tCs Lewis felt about asking to be enlightened for doubts and illuminations, for teachers to shed light to help us to solve mind blogging problems. I felt and experience all that just like explaining what they teachers like to say but not any where near to our questions.
@@falsesatsuma Thank you so much. I was wondering who was doing this wonderful reading/narration. I thought perhaps it was Lewis himself. I greatly appreciate your comment. 💙
I read this book, back when I was trying to remain an evangelical and believe in the Bible’s inspiration. But much of this book is about what’s terrible about the Psalms, and how we need to not agree with much of what we find there. I agreed, and I admired Lewis’s honesty. But that’s why they’re NOT inspired, and should be rejected, except as a document of what’s frequently wrong, and often dangerous, about fervently religious people.
Well be careful not to conflate your religion with faith. Religion has ever been and remains a caution. In the hands of men and women nothing can be pure. Faith reaches past religion and enables us to simply do what is right. Simply refrain. It is a kind of submission I think that is beyond free will. Grace. The rest is prescription- law. Christ said respect the law but do not do as they say. Speaking of the Pharisees he described them, the religious, as whited sepulchers. I hold with Jeremiah 29:11. Best to you.
Those who follow CS Lewis often tend to enjoy flowery speeches and mental sparring which is also dangerous. We can end up despising the dulled person, despising simpletons, those with "mistakes" and ignoring the children because we imagine we are blessed. Hence, we end up lacking love and do not follow the commandments of Christ. We become like a big bloated bubble with lots of great opinions and think we are more "spiritual" than others. I am not objecting to anyone wanting to be that way because we have free agency and will reap the rewards of the object that we love above all. As for me, CS Lewis teachings do not inspire me and neither do his followers. The cerebrum is not where all the knowledge is kept for it is weak. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. What seems strong or appears strong to the natural eye is actually very weak. The psalms contain a lot of prophecies and hidden wisdom and it is unwise to mock the writings of a prophet.
This is a good book on the psalms although Lewis created unnecessary problems because he was working from the RSV instead of a modern translation. Good reading too, thanks for uploading.
Matthew 25: 1-13 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
This is so well read -- if only, though, if only it were not so breathless! Slow down here and there. We need to hear the paragraphs. We need to hear you turn the pages, take a sip of water.
I was going to ask if it would be out of line to include God's natural laws along, with his spiritual laws in evoking the praise of the psalmist. But then I heard around 1:35:50 that his laws are as solid as that nature he has created.
The Papacy, and Melchizedek might have a connection somehow .....no parents ...bread and wine offering ....Is Mel, a shadow of the Papacy? or vice versa A different priesthood compared to the Temple, Priests Ezekiels Temple and Melchizedek connection if any?
What's the gentleman narrating this's name? Can't remember, hoping an audiobible with him reading exists trying to make an offline bible study archive.
How many other authors do you read give you a strong urge to shut up and listen? I don't know any other author besides the apostle Paul who has such wisdom with words.
@@bridgetbold6867 It's common knowledge to Biblical Schlolars world wide. Check out Dr. William Lane Craig and Dr. John Lennox, not Lennon, oh yeah, and there is Dr. James Tour, to name a few. Do your research and you will love what you find. But if you want the truth, you will have to search for it. Btw, I love C.S. Lewis, and his works. But by his own admission, he himself did not possess a doctorate in Theology. But Jesus saved him marvelously and has used him to further God's Kingdom for Christ. Hope this helped.
@janelliot5643 This is true. But for more in-depth information on the authorship of the Psalms, Google would not be my choice of learning and discovery on the topic.
Be angry on your bed a lot of David psalms were human emotion yet God said David was a man of his own heart. God thought many times of destroying us himself and his anger is justified but thank God for his lovely mercy on our human weakness and that he Judges our hearts not our mind.
Love this. But there are a ridiculous number of ads. By far the most interruptions of any audiobook I've listened to. Disappointing. Breaks the train of thought.
I have a really silly question, but somehow I always forget to ask; is there supposed to an image or something in Lewis' pipe smoke? It just seems like there would be if they were making sure to portray him smoking a pipe, w/ all that smoke. Am I missing something, friends? 🤤
Any chance of a few less advertisements, at least if lesser duration? It is truly distracting to the earnest Christian. Not that we count for much these days. Mammon seems to have the upper hand.....
As a young child I was entranced by the world of Narnia. As a teenager I loved Ransom and the Sci-if books. As a young man I found the Christian writings helpful and was most moved by his autobiography Surprised by Joy. As an ageing ex-Christian I find these moralising ramblings perfect for getting to sleep. 😂
What has CS Lewis to do with Orthodox Depot? None of his books are listed. He was protestant not orthodox. This is just clickbait to get income for Orthodox to pay for a monastery restoration.
When you read Lewis, denominations don't matter. Christ does. Christ doesnt care what team youre on dude. I pray in Latin like a Catholic whilst prostrating like the Orthodoxy. There is no Schism in my house.
I had to suspend my careful listening at CSL'S first mention of PURGATORY: To hear such Catholic error was indeed eye opening to this Emporer's nakedness.

Just finished the book. Thanks my man for posting this, it was a blessing🙌🏻❤🙌🏻
Thank you so much!
This was so refreshing and insightful , gave me some chuckles as well😂❤
Wonderful study.... esp re “dash the little ones on the stones”....
2:40:23 about why God needs us to praise Him is that He inhabits the praises of His people (Ps 22 v 3) He is worthy of ALL our praise
Because when your attention is focused on God, especially in praise and gratitude, He is present and active in your heart. ❤
Thank you for this
Ty for this such a blessing!!
Perfection. Thank you ❤
I love this book. All I have to contribute.
Sounds like the breton of oblivion. I love it.
Its Ralph Cosham (Geoffrey Howard) he narrated the Brentons and Vincente Valtierrie. Its like having my grandfather read to me ❤
@@falsesatsuma Thank you so much. I was wondering who was doing this wonderful reading/narration. I thought perhaps it was Lewis himself. I greatly appreciate your comment. 💙
@@lynnmaycroft531 No probs :) he's narrated quite a lot, even The Divine Comedy, it's on Audible ❤
My first thoughts were “Brother Joffre? Is that you?”
Thank You
A jewel!!
Thank you 🙏🏼 🌹🙏🏼✝️😇
BRILLIANT MIND
Seems like a great reading, have a lot of respect for those.. :) God bless
I read this book, back when I was trying to remain an evangelical and believe in the Bible’s inspiration. But much of this book is about what’s terrible about the Psalms, and how we need to not agree with much of what we find there.
I agreed, and I admired Lewis’s honesty. But that’s why they’re NOT inspired, and should be rejected, except as a document of what’s frequently wrong, and often dangerous, about fervently religious people.
There's a lot of good in the Psalms as well. And even the bad can be seen in a new light after reading the new testament.
Well be careful not to conflate your religion with faith. Religion has ever been and remains a caution. In the hands of men and women nothing can be pure. Faith reaches past religion and enables us to simply do what is right. Simply refrain. It is a kind of submission I think that is beyond free will. Grace. The rest is prescription- law. Christ said respect the law but do not do as they say. Speaking of the Pharisees he described them, the religious, as whited sepulchers. I hold with Jeremiah 29:11. Best to you.
Those who follow CS Lewis often tend to enjoy flowery speeches and mental sparring which is also dangerous. We can end up despising the dulled person, despising simpletons, those with "mistakes" and ignoring the children because we imagine we are blessed. Hence, we end up lacking love and do not follow the commandments of Christ. We become like a big bloated bubble with lots of great opinions and think we are more "spiritual" than others.
I am not objecting to anyone wanting to be that way because we have free agency and will reap the rewards of the object that we love above all. As for me, CS Lewis teachings do not inspire me and neither do his followers. The cerebrum is not where all the knowledge is kept for it is weak. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. What seems strong or appears strong to the natural eye is actually very weak.
The psalms contain a lot of prophecies and hidden wisdom and it is unwise to mock the writings of a prophet.
Thanks 🙏
Hey your they guy from Oblivion!Honored
Very interesting!! Enjoyed it very much.
It only took me four go-arounds to actually hear this
I believe the bible and in God
2:29:50 the words to express what I feel are found
Amazing 🤩
This is a good book on the psalms although Lewis created unnecessary problems because he was working from the RSV instead of a modern translation. Good reading too, thanks for uploading.
No problems, just truth.. ☦️✝️
RSV is a modern translation
We tapped in
Matthew 25: 1-13
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
THE AMULET OF KINGS
Brilliant. What a mind.
Amen 🙌 🙏
This is so well read -- if only, though, if only it were not so breathless! Slow down here and there. We need to hear the paragraphs. We need to hear you turn the pages, take a sip of water.
I was going to ask if it would be out of line to include God's natural laws along, with his spiritual laws in evoking the praise of the psalmist. But then I heard around 1:35:50 that his laws are as solid as that nature he has created.
The Papacy, and Melchizedek might have a connection somehow .....no parents
...bread and wine offering ....Is Mel, a shadow of the Papacy? or vice versa
A different priesthood compared to the Temple, Priests
Ezekiels Temple and Melchizedek connection if any?
Enjoyed! Ease up on the ads some, just friendly criticism 🙂
On UA-cam, the channels have no choice on how many ads UA-cam runs.
Use the br4v3 br0w53r to avoid 4d5. You'll thank me.
It's free and it doesnt collect your data
God Bless

Please, can anyone tell me the readers name? The man who read this audiobook.
Ralph Cosham (Geoffrey Howard) he also narrated Dantes Divine Comedy
Ralph cosham also narrated the Louise Penney series inspector Gamache.
thanks for answering. would be helpful to include “read by …” up in the video description
🙏🙏🙏
What's the gentleman narrating this's name? Can't remember, hoping an audiobible with him reading exists trying to make an offline bible study archive.
Jauffre, Grandmaster of the Blades
Ralph Cosham
How many other authors do you read give you a strong urge to shut up and listen? I don't know any other author besides the apostle Paul who has such wisdom with words.
🙏🏼 ❤️☦️✝️
Who is reading?
Geoffrey Howard. You may recognize the voice from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Same voice as Joffrey from Elder Scrolls Oblivion 😮
😂
Why is there an ad every 5 minutes
Oh brother lol why did you use the Breton's voice from Oblivion?
To greatly improve the experience
@@CSLewisessays personally I prefer the refined elegance of the argonians, got a laugh out of me though. God Bless
King David wrote at least 73 of the Psalms.
How do you know ? Which ones are his ?
@@bridgetbold6867 It's common knowledge to Biblical Schlolars world wide. Check out Dr. William Lane Craig and Dr. John Lennox, not Lennon, oh yeah, and there is Dr. James Tour, to name a few. Do your research and you will love what you find. But if you want the truth, you will have to search for it. Btw, I love C.S. Lewis, and his works. But by his own admission, he himself did not possess a doctorate in Theology. But Jesus saved him marvelously and has used him to further God's Kingdom for Christ. Hope this helped.
@bridgetbold6867 you can look that up easily, any search engine: which Psalms were written by David
@janelliot5643 This is true. But for more in-depth information on the authorship of the Psalms, Google would not be my choice of learning and discovery on the topic.
@@tammysims8716 where can we get the write knowledge of the author from then?
Be angry on your bed a lot of David psalms were human emotion yet God said David was a man of his own heart. God thought many times of destroying us himself and his anger is justified but thank God for his lovely mercy on our human weakness and that he Judges our hearts not our mind.
Hello everybody, I’m New Christian channel with content everyday, follow for the journey, and remember to be thankful everyday!
Er mer gerd!!!! This is the voice actor that did the space trilogy!!!!! Let's gooooooooo!!!
'...leads into that typically Jewish prison of self righteousness' which Christ so often rebuked. And still, those people are dying in Gaza...

1:47:17 Bandwagoner
Is this CS Lewis himself speaking on the tape?
40:20 Amen 🙏🙏🙏
Love this. But there are a ridiculous number of ads. By far the most interruptions of any audiobook I've listened to. Disappointing. Breaks the train of thought.
1:22:41
Purgatory ??? What Bible is he reading?
Yeah, I’m reading it but just ignoring the purgatory parts
Obey the teaching of the Catholic Church, pls.
A real one, silly Prot
20:29 the tactic of critical theory adherents and mechanism of those that placate and submit to them.
I have a really silly question, but somehow I always forget to ask; is there supposed to an image or something in Lewis' pipe smoke? It just seems like there would be if they were making sure to portray him smoking a pipe, w/ all that smoke. Am I missing something, friends?
🤤
The image in the smoke is Aslan the Lion (who is basically Jesus)
Who is the reader?
Jauffre, Grandmaster of the Blades
Any chance of a few less advertisements, at least if lesser duration? It is truly distracting to the earnest Christian. Not that we count for much these days. Mammon seems to have the upper hand.....
As a young child I was entranced by the world of Narnia. As a teenager I loved Ransom and the Sci-if books. As a young man I found the Christian writings helpful and was most moved by his autobiography Surprised by Joy. As an ageing ex-Christian I find these moralising ramblings perfect for getting to sleep. 😂
This is the Breton voice actor from Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion
What has CS Lewis to do with Orthodox Depot? None of his books are listed. He was protestant not orthodox. This is just clickbait to get income for Orthodox to pay for a monastery restoration.
When you read Lewis, denominations don't matter. Christ does. Christ doesnt care what team youre on dude.
I pray in Latin like a Catholic whilst prostrating like the Orthodoxy. There is no Schism in my house.
It's a trip being read to by an Oblivion NPC
24:42 NOPE! SATAN is the accuser, God is the JUDGE, and Christ our defense attorney.
I had to suspend my careful listening at CSL'S first mention of PURGATORY: To hear such Catholic error was indeed eye opening to this Emporer's nakedness.
