I first read the Chronicles of Narnia, The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings as a teenager, not realizing at the time that C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien were close friends and fellow Christians. I thought it was obvious on first reading that Lewis was writing …

I am a C. S. Lewis fanatic. I’ve read all his works, been to his home in England, and even written a book about one of his stories. For an expert, it can be humbling when an amateur points out something you’ve missed. The book was The Lion, the Witch …

The C.S. Lewis Bible is a unique, rich work by dedicated editors and scholars well-versed in Lewis’s works.  It is first and foremost the New Revised Standard version of the Bible.  However, the fact that it is interspersed with carefully selected readings from Lewis’s works, 600 to be exact, makes …

Author of the new book, After You Believe My mother once asked me, in my teens, which historical figure I would like to have met. Unhesitatingly I said, ‘C. S. Lewis’. He didn’t count as ‘historical’, I was told; only recently dead, he was in any case younger than my …
