The Case for Christianity (C.S. Lewis Classics)
"C. S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia, The Space Trilogy, Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, and many other writings, is still the most widely read Christian writer and apologist of our time. He was a modern sage who skillfully and convincingly introduced the wisdom of the ages into the human condition. This brief volume provides insight into critical landmarks in C.S. Lewis's life which were formative factors in his development as a creative genius and articulate defender of the historic Christian faith. He combined reason with imagination in a manner that made him a great imaginative apologist whose primary concern was always the truth question. For Lewis, Christianity is the truth that matters. Dr. Sims conveys the personal story of Lewis's quest to present commonsense Christian truth in a manner that is applicable to life, conducive to morality, and reasonable to thinking persons. The power of the true, the good, and the beautiful were so persuasively interrelated in Lewis' s writings that skeptics and secularists were often won over as much by his manner as by the substance of his thought."--
