C.S. Lewis, himself a layperson in the Church of England, has
exercised an unprecedentedly wide influence on the faithful of
Anglican, Roman Catholic, Evangelical and other churches, all of
whom tend naturally to claim him as one of their own. One of the
reasons for this diverse appropriation is the elusiveness of the
church in the sense both of his own denomination and of the wider
subject of ecclesiology in Lewis writings. The essays contained in
this volume critically examine the place, character and role of the
Church in Lewis life. The result is a detailed and scintillating
picture of the interactions of one of the most distinctive voices
in twentieth-century theology with the contemporaneous development
of the Church of England, with key concepts in ecclesiology, and
with interdenominational matters.
This book focuses on realistic strategies for non-specialists to
use when working with pupils who have dyslexia. It offers detailed,
practical guidance on defining and identifying dyslexia, dyslexia
in the early and middle years and at secondary school, and worked
examples of IEPs. It also discusses providing effective support for
the literacy and numeracy hours, raising self-esteem, and working
with parents and voluntary organizations. In addition, the authors
cover using checklists and assessments, choosing suitable programs
and resources, and useful addresses and books. Teachers and
teaching assistants in mainstream classrooms and parents wanting to
help their children will find this book invaluable.
Martin Heidegger is the 20th century theology philosopher with the
greatest importance to theology. A cradle Catholic originally
intended for the priesthood, Heidegger's studies in philosophy led
him to turn first to Protestantism and then to an atheistic
philosophical method. Nevertheless, his writings remained deeply
indebted to theological themes and sources, and the question of the
nature of his relationship with theology has been a subject of
discussion ever since. This book offers theologians and
philosophers alike a clear account of the directions and the
potential of this debate. It explains Heidegger's key ideas,
describes their development and analyses the role of theology in
his major writings, including his lectures during the National
Socialist era. It reviews the reception of Heidegger's thought both
by theologians in his own day (particularly in Barth and his school
as well as neo-Scholasticism) and more recently (particularly in
French phenomenology), and concludes by offering directions for
theology's possible future engagement with Heidegger's work.

For thirty years, the Oxford C.S. Lewis Society has met weekly in
the medieval colleges of the University of Oxford. During that
time, it has hosted as speakers nearly all those still living who
were associated with the Inklings-the Oxford literary circle led by
C.S. Lewis-, as well as authors and thinkers of a prominence that
nears Lewis's own. C.S. Lewis and His Circle offers the reader a
chance to join this unique group. Roger White has worked with
Society past-presidents Brendan and Judith Wolfe to select the best
unpublished talks, which are here made available to the public for
the first time. They exemplify the best of traditional academic
essays, thoughtful memoirs, and informal reminiscences about C.S.
Lewis and his circle. The reader will re-imagine Lewis's Cosmic
Trilogy with former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams; read
philosopher Elizabeth Anscombe's final word on Lewis's arguments
for Christianity; hear the Reverend Peter Bide's memories of
marrying Lewis and Joy Davidman in an Oxford hospital; and learn
about Lewis's Narnia Chronicles from his former secretary.
Representing the finest of both personal and scholarly engagement
with C.S. Lewis and the Inklings, the talks collected here set a
new tone for engagement with this iconic Oxford literary circle-a
tone close to Lewis's own Oxford-bred sharpness and wryness,
seasoned with good humor and genuine affection for C.S. Lewis and
his circle.
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
Contributor(s): P. H Brazier is an independent theologian and
scholar living in London. He is the author of Barth and Dostoevsky
(2008), and editor of the late Colin E. Gunton's The Barth Lectures
(2007) and Revelation and Reason (2009).
