About the Book

Does life have meaning? What's the nature of real friendship? Can reason and imagination be reconciled? Does God exist? How do we deal with pain? And are these questions - even, perhaps, the answers to them - to be found in books that feature magical wardrobes, spaceships and Greek myth? Author and academic Alister McGrath sees C. S. Lewis as the perfect conversation companion for the persistent meaning-of-life questions everyone asks, thanks to the wide and varied terrain of his life: Lewis travelled from early atheism to conversion, from rational scepticism to the appreciation of the value of human desires and imagination; and from Christian apologist during the Second World War, to celebrated author of classic children's literature. The questions Lewis thought - and wrote - about are still asked today, and all are illuminated by his astonishingly varied body of work. Join McGrath as he opens the wardrobe door and guides you into a conversation with Lewis's writings, in which all the most important questions are asked.

About the Author :
Alister McGrath is the Andreas Idreos Professor of Science and Religion at Oxford University, and Fellow of Harris Manchester College, Oxford. After initial academic work in the natural sciences, Alister turned to the study of theology and intellectual history, while occasionally becoming engaged in broader cultural debates about the rationality and relevance of the Christian faith. He is the author of many academic and theological works, as well as the bestselling The Dawkins Delusion and, most recently, his acclaimed C. S. Lewis - A Life.

Review :
The author now best-known for the Narnia sequence of fantasy stories for children, realised fiction's potential for sneaking an apologia for Christianity past the 'watchful dragons of dogmatic rationalism'. The medium of communication is famous; the message is familiar - and maybe the meaning of life is hidden behind the wardrobe. Alister McGrath has appeared on BBC Big Questions to discuss the question: "Is it more rational to believe in God?" The pages are crammed full of Lewis's gems of wisdom It is a deeply Christian but accessible book that gently explains Lewis's points of view. It is a deeply Christian but accessible book that gently explains Lewis's points of view; many parts are profound and the pages are crammed full of Lewis's gems of wisdom. dozens of rhetorical questions and lots of exclamation marks are evidence of a desire for lively presentations of religious arguments. Through these conversations I found myself listening to Lewis' gigantic intellect with a new respect. His writing is potentially life-changing, and McGrath has succeeded in making this material both deep and readable. He adds a lot to our understanding, not only of why the man wrote what he did, but of the truth of his arguments. After finishing this book I found I wanted more, and will be making a point of searching out what I have not read of Lewis' works. It makes fascinating reading and stimulating reading as we are put in touch with Lewis's thought from his various writing and talks ... McGrath does an excellent job of filling in the life situation of Lewis while he was writing his various books. This is most informative and helps to exegete Lewis with new depth. It would also make a powerful gospel present for and non-Christian friend of a literary bent. It is a deeply Christian but accessible book that gently explains Lewis' points of view Alister McGrath is to be congratulated on producing this excellent introductory companion to the works of C.S. Lewis . . . McGrath has a deep understanding of both Lewis's life and thought at his fingertips, but he also has an equally deep understanding of how to explain and present those ideas attractively and simply to people who are new to Lewis . . . McGrath presents us here not just with a compelling short account of the complexity and breadth of Lewis's ideas, but with an attractive image of the man himself, from whose experience and personality those ideas cannot be separated. What he succeeds in doing is whetting the reader's appetite. He leaves us wanting to go to the fountain itself and read (or re-read) more of Lewis
