C.S. Lewis Books

This is a big book. It’s not to be read at one sitting. It’s for dipping in and out. Lewis was plainly a hugely gifted man and I found his letters endlessly fascinating. When he’s writing to his fellow Christians he can be profundity itself. In one he describes an evening spent with fellow theologians (including Tolkien) mulling over Matthew 7:14.

With work under way on a film of CS Lewis’ The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, BBC News Online’s Greg McKevitt investigates the roots of its Belfast-born author and the Northern Ireland settings that fired his boyhood imagination.

J. R. R. Tolkien enjoys renewed popularity these days, thanks to the power of Hollywood — the Oscar-nominated film version of his trilogy “The Lord of the Rings.”

But without another power — C. S. Lewis’ friendship — Tolkien might never have found the encouragement to finish his massive, complex fantasy of hobbits, orcs and elves.

Sponsored by the C.S. Lewis And Friends Committee, this event will present a side of Lewis seldom seen by the general public. Walter Hooper, private secretary to Lewis who is closely affiliated with the Lewis estate, will speak at the event. His insight into the writings of Lewis, coupled with his personal relationship with the man, will give attendees unprecedented access to the heart and mind of the Christian scholar.

“A young man who wishes to remain a sound atheist cannot be too careful of his reading.” C.S. Lewis
