Wheaton College Professor Alan Jacobs, a Birmingham native, received the John Pollock Award for Christian Biography from Samford University during a chapel service Tuesday at the Beeson Divinity School.
Jacobs was honored for his 2005 book “The Narnian: The Life and Imagination of C.S. Lewis.”
A journey into the imaginative life of C. S. Lewis exploring the themes and life events that allowed an Oxford don, a scholar of medieval literature who loved to debate philosophy at his local pub, to write one of the most enduring classics of children’s literature.
