Honda, Mineko. The Imaginative World of C.S. Lewis : A Way to Participate in Reality. Lanham, Md.: University Press of America, 2000.
Notes: From the publisher. The Imaginative World of C.S. Lewis is a fascinating study of the ideas of one of the most influential Christian authors and advocates of this century. In this engaging work, Mineko Honda demonstrates how Lewis participated in objective Reality through the writing of his imaginative stories and fantasies. She begins her study with a discussion of Lewis' idea of imagination and then considers the style of his apologetic works. She goes on to examine Lewis' attitudes as an imaginative author, focusing on how he relates himself to the world of objective Reality. In an analysis of "The Great Divorce" and "Till We Have Faces", Honda explores Lewis' notion that human beings can perceive Reality through imagination and ultimately attain it and become a part of it in heaven. Full of important insights on Lewis' imaginative works, this book will appeal to Lewis enthusiasts or anyone seeking reassurance that their lives are meaningfully connected to a higher reality

Kort, Wesley A. C.S. Lewis Then and Now. New York: Oxford University Press, 2001.
Notes: From the publisher: Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was a distinguished scholar of medieval and Renaissance literature who taught at both Oxford University and Cambridge University. After his conversion to Christianity, Lewis began writing Christian apologetic works aimed at a popular audience. It is for these works that Lewis is now best remembered; especially in the U.S., where his books have sold in the millions and continue to be popular today. Perhaps because of this popularity, however, Lewis's Christian writings are generally dismissed by theologians as oversimplified and conceptually flawed. With this book, Wesley A. Kort hopes to rehabilitate Lewis and to demonstrate the value and continuing relevance of his work. Kort not only retrieves Lewis from the now-dated context of his writings, but also wrests him from the hands of evangelicals who have turned his word into gospel and mistaken his attacks on modernity for a retreat from the world. Kort addresses and refutes common prejudices about Lewis and shows that, although Lewis was sharply critical of the materialism and narcissism of modern culture, he nevertheless insisted that only through culture can Christian teachings effectively shape moral character. Lewis's desire for a fruitful, interactive relationship between Christianity and culture sharply distinguishes him from neo-orthodox theology and many contemporary Christian rejections of culture.

---. The Four Loves.. 1st ed. New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1991.
Notes: Reprint. Originally published: New York : Harcourt, Brace, 1960.

---. An Experiment in Criticism. Canto ed. Cambridge ; New York: Cambridge University Press, 1992.
Notes: From the publisher. Why do we read literature and how do we judge it? C. S. Lewis's classic An Experiment in Criticism springs from the conviction that literature exists for the joy of the reader and that books should be judged by the kind of reading they invite. He argues that 'good reading', like moral action or religious experience, involves surrender to the work in hand and a process of entering fully into the opinions of others: 'in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself'. Crucial to his notion of judging literature is a commitment to laying aside expectations and values extraneous to the work, in order to approach it with an open mind. Amid the complex welter of current critical theories, C. S. Lewis's wisdom is valuably down-to-earth, refreshing and stimulating in the questions it raises about the experience of reading.

---. The Discarded Image : An Introduction to Medieval and Renaissance Literature. Canto ed. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1994.
Notes: From the publisher. C.S. Lewis' The Discarded Image paints a lucid picture of the medieval world view, as historical and cultural background to the literature of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. It describes the "image" discarded by later ages as "the medieval synthesis itself, the whole organization of their theology, science and history into a single, complex, harmonious mental model of the universe." This, Lewis' last book, was hailed as "the final memorial to the work of a great scholar and teacher and a wise and noble mind."

---. A Grief Observed. lst HarperCollins pbk. ed. [San Francisco]: HarperSanFrancisco, 1994.
Notes: Originally published: London : Faber, 1961. With new foreword.

---. Surprised by Joy : The Shape of My Early Life. New York ; London: Harcourt Brace, 1995.

---. The Collected Works of C.S. Lewis. World Publishing, 2004.
Notes: From the publisher. The writer of popular works such as The Chronicles of Narnia series for children has also touched the world with his biographical journey to Christianity. Lewis was a profound thinker with the rare ability to communicate the philosophical and theological rationale of Christianity in simple yet amazingly effective ways. In The Pilgrim's Regress, Lewis records his search for meaning and spiritiual satisfaction that eventually led him to Christianity. God in the Dock contains forty-eight essays and twelve letters that cover topics as varied as the logic of theism, good and evil, miracles, and ethics. And in Christian Reflections, he addresses Christianity and literature, Christianity and culture, petitionary prayer, modern theology, and biblical criticism.

---. The Great Divorce. HarperSanFrancisco, 2001.
Notes: From the publisher. C. S. Lewis takes us on a profound journey through both heaven and hell in this engaging allegorical tale. Using his extraordinary descriptive powers, Lewis introduces us to supernatural beings who will change the way we think about good and evil. In The Great Divorce C. S. Lewis again employs his formidable talent for fable and allegory. The writer, in a dream, finds himself in a bus which travels between Hell and Heaven. This is the starting point for an extraordinary meditation upon good and evil which takes issue with William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. In Lewis's own words, "If we insist on keeping Hell (or even earth) we shall not see Heaven: if we accept Heaven then we shall not be able to retain even the smallest and most intimate souvenirs of Hell."

---. The Beloved Works of C.S. Lewis. Grand Rapids, MI: Inspirational Christian Library, 2004.

---. Readings for Meditation and Reflection. HarperSanFrancisco, 1996.
Notes: From the publisher. Known throughout the world as the intellect behind The Chronicles of Narnia and as the twentieth century's most influential Christian writer, C. S. Lewis has stirred millions of readers through his probing insights, passionate arguments, and provocative questions about God, love, life, and death. Gathered from the mass of his published works -- including The Screwtape Letters, Mere Christianity, The Four Loves, and God in the Dock -- as well as from letters, essays, and less familiar writings, this compendium contains a cross section of Lewis's finest work.

---. Mere Christianity. HarperSanFrancisco,2001 Notes: Originally published: New York : Phoenix Press, 1987, c1952.

---. The Abolition of Man, or, Reflections on Education with Special Reference to the Teaching of English in the Upper Forms of Schools. [San Francisco]: HarperSanFrancisco, 2001.

---. Miracles : A Preliminary Study. Broadman & Holman Pub, 2000.
Notes: Originally published: London : G. Bles, 1947.
From the publisher: "The central miracle asserted by Christians is the Incarnation. They say that God became Man. Every other miracle prepares the way for this, or results from this." This is the key statement of Miracles, in which C. S. Lewis shows that a Christian must not only accept but rejoice in miracles as a testimony of the unique personal involvement of God in his creation. Using his characteristic lucidity and wit to develop his argument, Lewis challenges the rationalists, agnostics, and deists on their own grounds and makes out an impressive case for the irrationality of their assumptions.

---. The Problem of Pain. [San Francisco]: HarperSanFrancisco, 2001.
Notes: Originally published: New York : Macmillan, 1944.
From Amazon.com. The Problem of Pain answers the universal question, "Why would an all-loving, all-knowing God allow people to experience pain and suffering?" Master Christian apologist C.S. Lewis asserts that pain is a problem because our finite, human minds selfishly believe that pain-free lives would prove that God loves us. In truth, by asking for this, we want God to love us less, not more than he does. "Love, in its own nature, demands the perfecting of the beloved; that the mere 'kindness' which tolerates anything except suffering in its object is, in that respect at the opposite pole from Love." In addressing "Divine Omnipotence," "Human Wickedness," "Human Pain," and "Heaven," Lewis succeeds in lifting the reader from his frame of reference by artfully capitulating these topics into a conversational tone, which makes his assertions easy to swallow and even easier to digest. Lewis is straightforward in aim as well as honest about his impediments, saying, "I am not arguing that pain is not painful. Pain hurts. I am only trying to show that the old Christian doctrine that being made perfect through suffering is not incredible. To prove it palatable is beyond my design." The mind is expanded, God is magnified, and the reader is reminded that he is not the center of the universe as Lewis carefully rolls through the dissertation that suffering is God's will in preparing the believer for heaven and for the full weight of glory that awaits him there. While many of us naively wish that God had designed a "less glorious and less arduous destiny" for his children, the fortune lies in Lewis's inclination to set us straight with his charming wit and pious mind. --Jill Heatherly

---. The Screwtape Letters ; with, Screwtape Proposes a Toast. San Francisco: HarperSanFrancisco, 2001.
Notes: From Amazon.com Who among us has never wondered if there might not really be a tempter sitting on our shoulders or dogging our steps? C.S. Lewis dispels all doubts. In The Screwtape Letters, one of his bestselling works, we are made privy to the instructional correspondence between a senior demon, Screwtape, and his wannabe diabolical nephew Wormwood. As mentor, Screwtape coaches Wormwood in the finer points, tempting his "patient" away from God. Each letter is a masterpiece of reverse theology, giving the reader an inside look at the thinking and means of temptation. Tempters, according to Lewis, have two motives: the first is fear of punishment, the second a hunger to consume or dominate other beings. On the other hand, the goal of the Creator is to woo us unto himself or to transform us through his love from "tools into servants and servants into sons." It is the dichotomy between being consumed and subsumed completely into another's identity or being liberated to be utterly ourselves that Lewis explores with his razor-sharp insight and wit. The most brilliant feature of The Screwtape Letters may be likening hell to a bureaucracy in which "everyone is perpetually concerned about his own dignity and advancement, where everyone has a grievance, and where everyone lives the deadly serious passions of envy, self-importance, and resentment." We all understand bureaucracies, be it the Department of Motor Vehicles, the IRS, or one of our own making. So we each understand the temptations that slowly lure us into hell. If you've never read Lewis, The Screwtape Letters is a great place to start. And if you know Lewis, but haven't read this, you've missed one of his core writings. --Patricia Klein

Sleuthing C. S. Lewis is the latest installment in the story of the most bizarre literary and religious scandal of the late twentieth century. Within a few months of C. S. Lewis's death in 1963, certain facts about his life were already being fictionalized and his literary leavings were being contaminated with fakery. This was the beginning of one of the most audacious literary hoaxes on record, and it's still going on today. Year after year, the fraud has been promoted by public relations and protected by secrecy. Year after year, Lindskoog has explored the fraud farther. The result is a gripping tale with an amazing cast of characters and new developments every year. This is scholarship packed with human interest and suspense. Reading this book is not only an excursion into realms of forgery, imposture, and cover-up, but also an insightful excursion into little-known aspects of C. S. Lewis's life. It offers rare glimpses of Lewis from his teens to his final day, and it uncovers important facts about his beloved brother Warren. This is a gripping tale of literary detective work, with an amazing cast and up-to-the-moment developments. It is packed with human interest and suspense. The content is complex, but the writing is colorful, clear, and concise. Although scandalous, this book is full of goodwill and laced with wit. Lindskoog shows how exciting and influential good scholarship can be. C. S. Lewis on Kathryn Lindskoog: In 1957 C. S. Lewis sent a letter to Kathryn Lindskoog in which he included this unique commendation: "You are in the centre of the target everywhere. For one thing, you know my work better than anyone else I've met; certainly better than I do myself... But secondly, you (alone of the critics I've met) realize the connection, or even the unity, of all the books - scholarly, fantastic, theological - and make me appear a single author, not a man who impersonates half a dozen authors, which is what I seem to most. This wins really very high marks indeed... If you understand me so well you will understand other authors too. I hope we shall have some really useful critical works from your hand.".
