God In The Dock

Lewis struck me as the most thoroughly converted man I ever met, observes Walter Hooper in the preface to this book. “His whole vision of life was such that the natural and the supernatural seemed inseparably combined.”God in the Dock collects forty-eight essays and twelve letters written by Lewis between 1940 and 1963. 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, the role of women in the church, and ethics and politics. Many represent Lewis’s first ventures into themes he would later treat in fulllength books.Characterized throughout by Lewis’s honesty and realism, in-sight and conviction, and pervasive Christian faith, God in the Dock remains very much a book for our time.
