C.S. Lewis: Christology and Cosmology

De: Michael Ward

Narrado por: Michael Ward

Peek into the mesmerizing imagination of C. S. Lewis with the world's leading authority on the beloved author.

With more than 100 million copies printed in 47 languages, The Chronicles of Narnia is one of the best-selling book series ever. Its enduring success is no accident, but rather the result of C.S. Lewis's extraordinary imaginative skill.

Few understand the full cosmological and theological depths of Lewis's world. In Christology, Cosmology, and C. S. Lewis, you will discover new dimensions that will enrich your enjoyment of these classic tales. Your presenter is Oxford University's Dr. Michael Ward, an award-winning author whom The Times called "the foremost living Lewis scholar." Dr. Ward's 12 lectures reveal the secret of The Chronicles: a creative plan that is breathtaking in its ingenuity, humility, and spiritual profundity.

A literary scholar who worked at Oxford and Cambridge, Lewis loved medieval literature that "at first looks planless, though all is planned." In Narnia, he imitates this example, structuring the series to embody the seven planets of the medieval cosmos. Believing in the importance of hiddenness in literature and theology, Lewis kept secret his imaginative blueprint. Once you unearth the mystery of Narnia, you will find new treasures buried in these magical tales.

Looking at Lewis's works with a fresh perspective, you will find their Christian wisdom and brilliant storytelling more intriguing than ever before. Let the creative genius of C. S. Lewis inspire you today.

Depth of research

Explained the hidden plan and meaning behind the idea very well! I appreciate CS Lewis on a deeper level now than I did before!

Phenomenal review of Lewis’s Narnia and trilogy

I highly recommend this series of lectures by Dr. Ward. He presents compelling evidence that some might argue should have been obvious to avoid Lewis reader, but which have escaped the public conversation about The Chronicles of Narnia. The enlightenment he offers here will change your reading of the books in a welcomed way. You won’t regret listening.

Excellent Overview

I loved Ward's book The Narnia Code and these lectures are a wonderful overview of the subject. it was an extra treat to hear it in his own voice. I cannot recommend enough for Lewis fans.

Concise and Comprehensible Lectures by Dr Ward

The advantage of *this book* (C.S. Lewis: Christology and Cosmology) over the excellent Planet Narnia, also by Dr Michael Ward, is that here Dr Ward delivers the series of twelve lectures (each about 20-22 minutes in length) in his own inimitable and delightful voice _and_ he provides a condensed version of his extensive and well-footnoted thesis detailed in Planet Narnia. Many people who would be interested in the subject matter of Planet Narnia but have perhaps been daunted by its scholarship will find his core argument presented in C.S. Lewis: Christology and Cosmology very accessible and in a concise manner.

Great e

I love all things Lewis so this was a wonderful book. I recommend it to all that love the Narnia books.
