Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Meditations on the Psalms

Not as a commentary, with its treatment of each successive verse, these meditations consider each Psalm as containing one leading idea, thus forming a unity in itself. Seeing the numerous subjects each Psalm contains, the recognition of this leading idea or formative principle must require deep reflection and close logical reasoning to trace its development to the exclusion of all else.

We are glad to notice in the present volume the same firmness of conviction and robust faith that appear in the authors apologetic works, and that his meditations, with their three points, tend to form solid virtues rather than sentimental affections. He faces squarely objections as they occur. For instance to the permission of evil, of pain and sorrow, the most popular argument against the existence of a good God, he replies - that evil is permitted to teach us detachment that earth is not our home - and to prepare us for eternity.

Bossuet gives two guides for understanding the Psalms. First, God as First Cause. The Psalmist seems to see him not by inference or argument but immediately, within the veil.
