Lewis, C.S.

Personal Author:

Lewis, C. S. (Clive Staples), 1898-1963.

Title:

God in the dock; essays on theology and ethics, by C. S. Lewis. Edited by Walter Hooper.

Publication info:

Grand Rapids MI : Eerdmans Publishing Co., 1970.

Physical description:

346 p. ; Letters & Index (pp. 325-346); 23 cm.

Summary:

“Lewis struck me as the most thoroughly converted man I ever met,” observes Walter Hooper in the preface to this collection of essays by C. S. Lewis. “His whole vision of life was such that the natural and the supernatural seemed inseparably combined.”

It is precisely this pervasive Christianity which is demonstrated in the 48 essays comprising God in the Dock. Here Lewis addresses himself both to theological questions and to those which Hooper terms “semi-theological,” or ethical. But whether he is discussing “Evil and God,” “Miracles,” “The Decline of Religion,” or “The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment,” his insight and observations are thoroughly and profoundly Christian.
