InterVarsity Press Helps Readers Explore C.S. Lewis’s Writings

Ranging from a dictionary about people and places in Narnia to a volume that examines the thought of C.S Lewis and Francis Schaeffer, InterVarsity Press publishes a variety of books about Lewis and his writings.

i>A Field Guide to Narnia Colin Duriez offers a handy companion to the landscape and inhabitants of Narnia, including an A-to-Z guide to characters, places, objects, and events. Duriez includes material to help the reader dig deeper into the series, The Chronicles of Narnia and its implications for understanding the Christian life.

i>A Reader’s Guide Through the Wardrobe Leland Ryken and Marjorie Lamp Mead lead readers through an examination of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as literature. By applying a literary analysis to Lewis’s work, Ryken and Mead help us understand his imagination and Christian worldview.

i>Aslan’s Call Mark Eddy Smith describes the moral implications of the actions undertaken by the main characters in The Chronicles of Narnia and points readers toward Christ as he is presented in Lewis’s creation.

i>C. S. Lewis’s Case for Christ Art Lindsley provides an introduction to Lewis’s reflections on objections to belief in Christ and compelling reasons to affirm the Christian faith.

i>C. S. Lewis’s Dangerous Idea Victor Reppert carefully traces C. S. Lewis’s apologetic for Christianity and demonstrates that the foundation of Lewis’s argument can bear up under the weight of the most serious philosophical attacks.

i>C. S. Lewis & Francis Schaeffer Scott R. Burson and Jerry L. Walls examine the thought of Lewis and Schaeffer. Burson and Walls point out strengths and weaknesses in each thinkers’ apologetics and suggest ways that we can learn from them how to better present the gospel in a postmodern world.

i>The Most Reluctant Convert David Downing traces the spiritual biography of C. S. Lewis from his birth through his early years as an Oxford don when he reluctantly considered the claims of Christ and eventually acknowledged the deity of Jesus and God’s gift of salvation.
