C. S. Lewis and the Church

Scholars of religion and church officials examine the role of the church in the life and work of British writer and Christian apologist Lewis (1898-1963). Among the topics are early Christian literature, his involvement in the revision of the psalter, the church in his fiction, the eschatological church, mere Christianity and Catholicism, historical Evangelicalism, and Lewis as the patron saint of American Evangelicalism.
