C.S. Lewis Books

A participant in this forum has complained that the Narnia movie departs from “the essence of Christianity,” and that it glorifies war. This person goes further by claiming that the “deification of war” is particularly associated with “right-wingers.”

C. S. Lewis biographer Dr. Alan Jacobs will recieve the 2006 John Pollock Award for Christian Biography on Tuesday Oct. 10 at Samford University. The award, chosen and presented by Samford University’s Beeson Divinity School, recognizes Jacob’s book The Narnian: The Life and Imagination of C.S. Lewis as the most distinguished Christian biography book in the past year.

Peter Kreeft, Ph.D., is a professor of philosophy at Boston College. He is a regular contributor to several Christian publications, is in wide demand as a speaker at conferences, and is the author of over 45 books including the excellent Handbook of Christian Apologetics which is WELL worth the read. It is just incredible.
