Rediscovering Lewis

This timely collection of essays is an invitation to listen afresh to C. S. Lewis. America's much-loved theologian especially among evangelicals and Roman Catholics is being reclaimed as an Anglican who can shape the theology of the mainline. A textured integrated and nuanced Lewis emerges from these essays with a focus on symbol poetry conversion friendship atonement and suffering. Contributors come from a diversity of backgrounds and perspectives--from Pakistan to England from evangelical to Catholic and from theologically conservative to progressive. Often reduced to a popular apologist or author of children's stories this book makes the case that we are in the presence of an Anglican theologian with stature. It is a pioneering text which will set an agenda for Lewis studies for decades to come.
