About the Author :

Peter J. Schakel (Ph.D., University of Wisconsin) is Cook Professor of English at Hope College in Holland, Michigan. His books include The Way into Narnia: A Reader's Guide (Eerdmans) and Imagination and the Arts in C. S. Lewis (University of Missouri Press).



Review :
Discerning readers will enjoy and receive thought-provoking stimulation in this volume. Especially the chapter on "Why We Need the Church" that provided food for thought that can supplement what is revealed explicitly in Scripture. I believe there are at least two types of readers who would especially benefit from this book. First, the young person who has enjoyed The Chronicles of Narnia but is not yet interested in Lewis's non-fiction may find here an exteremely accessible account of his ideas about God and the Christian life. Second, the person who is new to Lewis and therefore uncertain of where to begin may use this volume as a helpful guide for determining which of Lewis's writings speak most directly to her own interests. In the steady stream of Lewisiana issuing from publishers, this book is distinguished by Schakel's clear thought and concise writing. Regardless of their familiarity with Lewis, readers will find this thematic exploration into "imaginative theology" inspirational. . . . A valuable summary of Lewis's thoughts on Christian living. Readers new to Lewis will find the book approachable, and longtime fans will find something new or be reminded of passages they love.
