Summary:
"What is it about British literary scholar and author C. S. Lewis-the Oxbridge don and self-described "very ordinary layman of the Church of England"--that touches millions of readers so deeply, making him the most widely read Christian spokesman of our time? In these lectures you will cover Lewis's spiritual autobiography and other creative works, as well as his scholarly writings that reflect on pain and grief, love and friendship, prophecy and miracles, and education and mythology" -- from publisher's website.
