Resumen del Editor

C. S. Lewis was a profound thinker with the rare ability to communicate the philosophical and theological rationale of Christianity in simple yet amazingly effective ways. God in the Dock contains 48 essays and 12 letters written by Lewis between 1940 and 1963 for a wide variety of publications. Ranging from popular newspaper pieces to learned defenses of the faith, these essays cover topics as varied as the logic of theism, good and evil, miracles, vivisection, the role of women in church polity, and ethics and politics. Many of these writings represent Lewis' first ventures into themes he would later treat in full-length books.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[Both Lewis'] searching mind and [his] poetic spirit are readily evident....Here the reader finds the tough-minded polemicist relishing the debate; here, too, the kindly teacher explaining the cosmic extraction by means of clarifying analogies." ( New York Times Book Review)

More Hidden Gold

I don't why someone said this was boring.

If anyone knows the works of C.S. Lewis, they know that it is so rich that you have to listen to it again and again to get its full benefit.

The narrator is perfect. Sound like the Mere Christianity narrator. I am pumped that this book has been published.

Music, sweet music

Astounding

This is the real deal. Excellent. What a beautiful mind.

If you like narrator---I do---try the Divine Comedy.
Beautiful.

This is a superb work. I liked it so much, I ordered the Hard Cover Book---not cheap.

These Are Great

Any additional comments?

Get this collection and also the audio of his essay collection called "The Weight of Glory" and you'll be in great shape. I'm so much a fan of Lewis that I don't know how valuable my review can be - indeed, I don't even go to him to find answers anymore so much as for the pleasure of his company - but I can at least say that if you like Lewis in general, these essays are not a step down from his books. They're just... you know ... shorter. Happy listening. Cosham performs well as always.

Thought provoking

A great book. I recommend listening in sections to give time to think through subjects. If you don’t want something to challenge your thought process, then this book is not for you.

Always amazed

I really enjoyed listening to the options of Lewis. I found it interesting that we still have the same descussions today as they had back then. I love the way Lewis talks to his audience, along with his bluntness.

Must have

It’s not often that I have an audiobook that I am compelled to purchase it in every form (kindle and paperback) but this book is a must have in every form

Fantastic Listen

I’ve read just about everything from Lewis, and this stands as one of the greatest complications of his apologetic works. Highly recommend!

Excellent

The last hours worth of letters recorded here are clairvoyant concerning modern American society and progressive thought

If you've wanted more C.S. Lewis...This is it!

Absolutely great collection of his essays combined into a collective whole. Many of these aren't available elsewhere.
Also - great reader! Does a wonderful job, you would think Lewis was there speaking it himself.

Can't go wrong with Lewis and Cosham.

My only problem is that I'm sometimes to dumb to understand all he's saying. ;)
