Synopsis: This is a series of books which have a common theme: the
understanding of Christ, and therefore the revelation of God, in
the work of C. S. Lewis. These books are a systematic study of
Lewis's theology, Christology and doctrine of revelation; as such
they draw on his life and work. They 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: "The importance of C. S.
Lewis as an apologist for 'mere Christianity' remains undiminished
nearly fifty years after his death. The intensification of
questions about the uniqueness of Jesus Christ and the significance
of his life and work has if anything made him more important. Paul
Brazier has done the church and the academy a great service in this
. . . serious and accessible study of Lewis." --The Very Rev. Dr.
Justyn Terry Dean, President, and Associate Professor of Systematic
Theology Trinity School for Ministry, Ambridge, Pennsylvania
"Comments and publications on C. S. Lewis have become increasingly
sterile since his death in 1963--mere footnotes to the champion of
'mere Christianity.' So what a joy it is to find, as we do in this
first volume of Paul Brazier's painstaking study of Lewis's
thought, a genuine work of scholarship that is not only worthy of
the great man but also provides for us what Lewis never did
himself: a systematic philosophical theology of his religious
method and beliefs." --Dr. Andrew Walker Emeritus Professor of
Theology, Religion & Culture King's College, University of
London "C. S. Lewis's writings reflect a profound and coherent
theological vision. This series is the most ambitious systematic
account ever offered of this vision, and will help raise Lewis
scholarship to a new level." --Dr. Judith Wolfe Supernumerary
Teaching Fellow in Theology St. John's College, University of
Oxford "Paul Brazier's new book performs two functions: it reveals
the strength and depth of C. S. Lewis's contribution to modern
Christianity, and it demonstrates the desirability of the art of
apologetics in the contemporary world. As always, the writing is
clear and direct, and the author has the ability to convey complex
ideas and information to the non-specialist reader without
surrendering any intellectual rigor." --Dr. Brian Horne Retired
Lecturer in Systematic Theology King's College, University of
London "Serious investigations into the theology of C. S. Lewis
have been long in coming. . . . T]he fact that Lewis was not a
professional theologian has led to him being overlooked by those
who were most able to engage critically and creatively with his
writings. Fortunately . . . a new generation of scholars has taken
up the task. Paul Brazier's latest contribution to this is a most
welcomed accomplishment that will leave an indelible impression on
our understanding of-and appreciation for-Lewis' remarkable
theological contributions." --Dr. Grayson Carter Associate
Professor of Church History Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena,
California Editor of Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal "In this
rigorous and searching study of the theology of C. S. Lewis, Paul
Brazier locates Lewis within the wider context of theological
scholarship and shows him to be a theologian to be reckoned with in
his own right, rather than simply a popularizer of Christian faith.
This most welcome volume in a proposed three-volume series will
surely prove invaluable in the assessment of Lewis's legacy." --Dr.
Murray Rae Professor and Head of the Department of Theology and
Religion University of Otago, New Zealand Author Biography: P. H

UK. He is the author of Barth and Dostoevsky (2008), and editor of

and Reason (2009).
