THE LITERATURE OF C.S. LEWIS

Ah! These are what lectures should be! C. S. Lewis is a complex figure who intensely championed Christianity and filled his fiction with joyous creativity. Timothy B. Shutt's affection for Lewis's work is everywhere evident in these lectures. Shutt enjoys Lewis, enjoys knowing about him, and enjoys sharing that knowledge with others. This pleasure is evident not only in the emotion that comes through in his voice, but also in how he reads selections from several of Lewis's works--as if he were reading to a favorite child--and in how methodically he takes Lewis to task for his failings.
