Not a Tame God: Christ in the Writings of C.S. Lewis [Paperback]

Steven P. Mueller (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 2002

This book explores the wisdom and insights of C. S. Lewis into the core of the Christian faith: Jesus the Messiah, Son of God, Savior, and Lord. With a passion for communicating God's truth to people of all ages, Lewis painted a complex, yet faithful picture of Christ, depicting the God who is "untamable" but who amazingly chose to become incarnate as a human being to save the world through His death and resurrection. In short, Lewis presents the Christ of Scripture, but he does so in fresh and creative writing, revealing his abiding faith in Christ, "who is not tamed by His creatures, but who surprises us with His endless grace."

This review is from: Not a Tame God: Christ in the Writings of C.S. Lewis (Paperback)

Not A Tame God: Christ In The Writings Of C.S. Lewis by Steven P. Mueller (Associate Professor of Theology, Concordia University, Irvine, California) is an informed and informative study of the literature of popular twentieth-century writer and devout Christian C. S. Lewis, who has presented the image of an "untamable" God in his writings which remain faithful to the essence of Jesus Christ. Central in the analysis is Lewis' Christ-like figure of Aslan, the wild and compassionate lion protector of the land of Narnia. A thoughtful, scholarly, and in-depth analysis, Not A Tame God is highly recommended contribution to Christian Theology Studies in general, and the reading lists for students of C.S. Lewis' writings in particular.
