CS Lewis For Beginners

Louis Markos

Sinossi

C.S. Lewis For Beginners is a thorough examination of C. S. Lewis, the greatest Christian apologist of the twentieth century, throughout his career as an author and as a professor at Oxford University. A Christian apologist defends Christianity as a consistent and coherent worldview that squares with human reason, history, and desire. It offers answers to every facet of our lives on earth as well as answers to our questions about what happens after we die. What makes C.S. Lewis unique as an apologist is the way he balanced so perfectly reason and imagination, logic and intuition, and head and heart. In addition to writing such non-fiction apologetics books as Mere Christianity, The Problem of Pain, and Miracles, he wrote eleven novels: the seven Chronicles of Narnia, a trilogy of science-fiction adventures, and a haunting retelling of an old myth set in the ancient world. All eleven tell wonderful, captivating stories that stand on their own as fiction but that also support and bring to life the kinds of apologetical arguments he makes in his non-fiction. He also wrote two utterly unique works of fiction, The Screwtape Letters and The Great Divorce, that offer a fresh, highly original take on sin and temptation, angels and devils, and heaven and hell. And that’s not all. Lewis the apologist and novelist had a day job. He was a celebrated English professor at Oxford, and then Cambridge, University who wrote works of literary criticism that are still famous today. C.S. Lewis For Beginners takes the reader through the wardrobe of his complete catalog of writing.

Silent Times

J.R. Miller

J. R. Miller (1840 –1912) was a prolific author and pastor of Presbyterian churches in Pennsylvania and Illinois in the USA. His lasting fame is through his over 50 books, many of them still in publication. In his introduction to “Silent Times”, he wrote,  “The title, is suggestive of the need of seasons of quiet in every life that would grow into full, rich beauty. The book is sent out in Christ's name, and with the hope that it may make the way a little plainer for some earnest pilgrims, and religion a little more real, and that it may become a lamp for some dark ways, and a staff for some rough and steep paths.” 
British narrator, Christopher Glyn’s clear and expressive reading brings alive the timeless truths of J.R. Miller’s teachings to a modern audience.

Does the church go through the “Great Tribulation”? Is there a literal “Millennium”? Does the church “replace” Israel? What happened to the Davidic covenant? Is everyone in Heaven equal? Under grace, does behavior matter?
