Description: C. S. Lewis--On the Christ of a Religious Economy I,
Creation and Sub-Creation opens with Lewis on creation, the fall
into original sin, and the human condition before God and how such
an understanding permeated all his work, post-conversion. For
Lewis, Christ, the second person of the Trinity, is the agent of
creation and its redeemer. This leads into Lewis's representation
through sub-creation: explaining salvation history and the purpose
of the creation and the creature through story (The Chronicles of
Narnia, The Space Trilogy, Screwtape, etc.), but also the question
of multiple incarnations, and the encounters he pens between
Aslan-Christ and creatures. What does this tell us about the human
predicament and our state after the fall?This volume forms the
first part of the third book in a series of studies on the theology
of C. S. Lewis titled C. S. Lewis: Revelation and the Christ. The
books are written for academics and students, but also, crucially,
for those people, ordinary Christians, without a theology degree
who enjoy and gain sustenance from reading Lewis's
work.Endorsements: "In this truly wonderful book, Brazier . . .
shows us how Lewis, a gifted storyteller, was able to appropriate
the Hebrew creation account as a symbolic telling of a fundamental
truth about the human condition. In the process, the reader is
shown how classical Christian orthodoxy is upheld. . . . A pleasure
to read for theologians and literary aesthetes alike."--Gerald L.
Bray, Research Professor of Divinity, Beeson Divinity School"Like
Lewis, Brazier casts a wide net, and his book is intended to appeal
not only to students and theologians but also to the general
reader. Never bogging down in obscure theological and philosophical
discussion, Brazier leads us unerringly through the subtlety and
rigor of Lewis' mind and imagination. . . . C. S. Lewis--On the
Christ of a Religious Economy, 3.1 is an invaluable resource for
literature as well as theology teachers."--Suzanne M. Wolfe,
Professor of English, Seattle Pacific University"Brazier's work on
the revelation of God in Christ will appeal to a very broad
readership: academics and ministers, low church and high church,
Lewis experts, and those exploring Lewis for the first time.
Brazier's lucid and sympathetic explanations of Lewis' thought and
theology provide an enormously valuable contribution to the
existing corpus of Lewis studies."--Lucy Peppiatt, Dean,
Westminster Theological Centre"As interest in and acclaim for the
work of C. S. Lewis burgeons forth into a second century, more
deeply rooted, systematic theological inquiry into the work of
Lewis is essential. We are fortunate that Brazier answers this call
for careful and contextualized analysis of Lewis' theology
admirably and comprehensively in his ambitious and erudite
series."--Bruce L. Edwards, Professor Emeritus of English and
Africana Studies, Bowling Green State UniversityAbout the
