Roman Roads Press FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
MOSCOW, IDAHO (August 2021)—New Saint Andrews College graduate, Christiana Hale, has released her debut non-fiction book, Deeper Heaven: A Reader’s Guide to CS Lewis’s Ransom Trilogy. Holding two degrees (a B.A. in Liberal Arts and M.A. in Theology and Letters) and working on finishing her M.F.A. in Creative Writing, Christiana has spent eight years studying and reading all of Lewis’s works.
In Deeper Heaven, Christiana skillfully leads the reader through what are widely considered to be Lewis’s most obscure works. Better known as “the Space Trilogy,” these three books (Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength) are a distillation in novel form of one of Lewis’s favorite subjects: the Medieval Model of the cosmos. From “Mapping the Universe” and “Learning to Re-See” to “Kindling Love in Man” and “Pulling Down Deep Heaven,” and finally “Recovering the Discarded Image,” Christiana provides the reader with an invaluable road map as they accompany Ransom through the stars, out into Deep Heaven, and back to our Silent Planet. “Christiana Hale has done C.S. Lewis’s readers a great service with this very well-written and carefully researched guide to the Ransom Trilogy. It is a thoughtful and helpful study of three novels that are often misunderstood but which, as the years go by, are increasingly showing their value and importance. Warmly recommended.” ~ Michael Ward, Fellow of Blackfriars Hall, University of Oxford, Professor of Apologetics, Houston Baptist University, and author of Planet Narnia: The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C.S. Lewis
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Christiana Hale is a junior high and high school Latin and English teacher at Logos School in Moscow, Idaho, a classical Christian school seeking to train students with the kind of education that produced such minds as C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. She is currently completing her M.F.A. in Creative Writing through New Saint Andrews College under the instruction of best-selling author N.D. Wilson, and she is in the process of writing three more books—two novels and one non-fiction.
