| There are few writers or thinkers in the twentieth century who have more lucidly grasped the meaning of modern times--the failed promise of the enlightenment--than the great C. S. Lewis. Here Peter Kreeft, one of the foremost students of Lewis' thought, distills Lewis' reflections on the collapse of western civilization and the way to renew it. Kreeft shows that Lewis, and particularly Lewis' book The Abolition of Man , offer deeply prophetic words for our time. Using this major work of Lewis as the focus of his book, Kreeft summarizes Lewis' philosophy of history and evaluates our era from that standpoint; gives a defense of the Natural Law (or objective values) as the absolute sine qua non for the survival of civilization; summarizes Lewis' refutation of twenty alternatives to it; and then fleshes out Lewis' hopeful conclusion in The Abolition of Man , a conclusion that gives a new and humane world view for mankind. Kreeft's reflections on Lewis' thought provide profound explorations into the single most momentous question of our desperate times. This book, like Lewis' Abolition of Man , should appeal to all men of good will and sound mind who are looking for light and hope in our age of darkness. |

| The legacy of C.S. Lewis is explored in this wonderful work. C.S. Lewis transcended all literary, philosophical, and religious boundaries. A world-renowned scholar of medieval literature at Oxford University, he wrote and lectured in such clear direct language that the readers are able to fully comprehend the truths he extolled. One of the most creative intellectuals of the twentieth century, he was the author of many classic masterpieces and, two generations after his death, Lewis continues to be numbered among our best-selling authors and our most influential thinkers. |

| Drawing on the whole body of C.S. Lewis' published fiction and non-fiction, as well as previously unpublished letters, Richard Purtill offers a clear, comprehensive assessment of Lewis' defense of Christianity. He examines Lewis' thinking on religion in light of contemporary thought, giving attention to such central issues as: the nature of God, the divinity of Christ, the manifestation of miracles in history, the challenge of faith, the meaning of death and the afterlife. ' C.S. Lewis' Case for the Christian Faith is an excellent introduction to Lewis's best thinking on the major themes of the Christian tradition. Those who know his writing will find a new appreciation of his “Christian imagination� and a deep respect for his distinctive contribution to an understanding of Christianity. ' '“An ideal introduction to C.S. Lewis for the uninitiated and a fine recapitulation for those already familiar with Lewis's writings on religion.� ' "Booklist '“Impressive.� ' "Library Journal Richard L. Purtill, former Professor of Philosophy at Western Washington University, is the author of philosophy textbooks, two fantasy novels, and J.R.R. Tolkien: Myth, Morality, and Religion .' |

| Michael Coren, an expert on the life and writings of Lewis, presents an engrossing biography for young people and adults of the man "who created Narnia". Following the publicity of the first of several theatrical major feature films from Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia , this biography, lavishly illustrated with numerous photos from the whole life of Lewis, is written in a captivating way that it will appeal to all ages, youth and adults alike. ' 'Starting with "Beginnings", Coren tells of the fascinating details of the childhood and youth of Lewis, one that was, in Lewis's own words full of "long corridors, attics explored in solitude, sunlit rooms and endless books". It continues with his studies at Oxford, his subsequent celebrated teaching career at Oxford, his wonderful friendships with other great writers like J.R.R. Tolkien, Charles Williams, and George Sayer, his meeting and marriage with Joy Davidman, and how he dealt with the sorrow of her death. ' 'The book especially focuses on how Lewis created his wonderful Narnia tales which became seven books that resulted in perhaps the most widely read set of children's Christian allegories, The Chronicles of Narnia . ''" Serious and thoughtful. Immensely readable." '' "Kirkus Reviews ''"Riveting, insightful, well-researched. Coren is to be commended for bringing his skills as biographer and as a superb story-teller to this subject." '' "Ottawa Citizen ''"A book for all readers. Coren brings Lewis to life in a study which should send adults and children scurrying to bookshelves." '' "London Fress Press ''' Michael Coren is a well-known radio and television broadcaster in Toronto as well as a syndicated columnist. He has also written biographies on J.R.R. Tolkien, Chesterton, H.G. Wells and Arthur Conan Doyle. |
