The C. S. Lewis Book on the Bible

Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was the most influential Christian writer of his day, and the effect of his work has still not abated. Quotes by him can be found in almost every modern work on Christianity. "The C. S. Lewis Book on the Bible" examines his view on the Bible, in which he differed from many of those who quote him. In laying out Lewis' approach to faith and Scripture, Jacob Schriftman does not only draw on Lewis' popular apologias such as "Mere Christianity" or "The Problem of Pain," but on his many letters, essays, fictional writings, and academic works. The result is both informative and a pleasure to read. Schriftman's admiration for Lewis clearly shines through, but he does not put him on a pedestal. Anyone with a deeper interest in C. S. Lewis or the Bible will not want to miss this volume on their shelves.
