As one of the most creative intellectuals of the twentieth century, C.S. Lewis transcended al literary, philosophical, and religious boundaries. A world-renowned scholar of medieval literature at Oxford University, he wrote and lectured in such clear, direct language that ordinary people were able to fully comprehend the truths he extolled. The prolific author of many classic masterpieces, he also lived a life that was as compelling as his work. In this exposition of Lewis's Legacy, Terry Glaspey offers a clear view of the character of this extraordinarily gifted man. Lewis believed that his sharp mind and rich imagination were to be accompanied by sense of responsibility to the wider world. Thus, C.S. Lewis: His Life and Thought demonstrates why, two generation after his death, Lewis continues to be numbered among our best-selling authors and our most influential thinkers.
