Rezensionen

"C. S. Lewis once suggested that it would be a boon to beable to have a real live Epicurean at our elbow when readingLucretius or to learn from a mouse or bee's perspective; soProfessor David Clark gives us the enlarged pleasure of readingLewis with a sensible and good-humored theologian by our side. Thisis no stale and stuffy pedantic writing, but a lively, witty, andfully engaging translation of Lewis's thoughts on Christiandoctrines of faith and redemption (and a bit of Purgatory). Withclarity and piercing insight, Professor Clark guides us merryfellow pilgrims along Lewis' own spiritual and intellectualjourney, pointing out hidden trails, narrow paths, and fascinatingfacts and myths along the way."

"Professor Clark writes with the confidence of one whosebroad and informed acquaintance with the Lewis canon allows him tospeak authoritatively about Lewis's theology and use of Scripturaltradition."
Bruce L. Edwards, Bowling Green State University

"A very winsome book - nicely poised between acomprehensive introduction for the reader new to Lewis and aholistic treatment of the varied literary output in the Lewis canonfor Lewis admirers ... The chief contribution of this work liesin [Clark's] steady treatment of Lewis's use ofScripture and the Scriptural basis of his own imaginative works... This work walks the tightrope between saying too much andsaying just enough from the perspective of a Biblical scholar whoalso well understands the nature and narrative and why Lewis wroteas he did. Very good for individual or group study."
