Su questo libro

L'autore:

Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a fellow and tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954 when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

The essay 'Christian Reunion' is the only sustained piece of writing we have from C.S. Lewis on the 'questions which divide' the denominations.

'Christian Reunion' is accompanied by a selection of other fascinating essays by Lewis, in the course of which he discusses the meaning of Christmas, civil disobedience, Prayer Book language, the Third Commandment and the philosophical problem of Evil. There is also an interview conducted with Lewis in the year of his death.

"One of the finest things about Lewis's 'Christian Reunion' is its lack of facile optimism and a willingness to diagnose problems before attempting a cure."
WALTER HOOPER
