A great author examines a great author,
By matt (the reading room) - See all my reviews
This review is from: C.S. Lewis: A Critical Essay (Paperback)
THis is a really concise and useful introduction to C.S. Lewis by one of the leading Lewisian scholars, Dr. Peter Kreeft. While it is only 71 pages, they are full of insight and wit. The text is broken into five sections. Part one deals with Lewis as a romantic rationalist. Part two concerns "the funeral of a great myth", or, the attack on modernity. Part three discusses Lewis' religious philosophy. Part four is all about his fiction, and part five looks at Lewis' historical significance (the last dinosaur, as he put it). I am surpirsed that this book is out of print, given its author. So for now you have to search for a used copy. It is, however, worth it. Just remember that it is very short. It is not a mangum opus by any means. But even so, it uses ample excerpts from Lewis' fiction, criticism, and theology making it a great way to see what types of his writings appeal to you. Enjoy!

I've not read the book - it was a gift for a friend - and came as it was presented in terms of quality
