From the unbending belief in invisible powers that animates Till We Have Faces to
the depiction of Aslan's sacrifice and resurrection in The Lion, The Witch, and the
Wardrobe, C. S. Lewis's writing has sparked intense debate about the presence and
function of religion in his works. Today, a reader's opinion of Lewis is more often
than not based on his or her perspectives on religion. In Reading C. S. Lewis, Wesley
A. Kort examines Lewis's work as a whole, investigating why and at what points Lewis
turns to religion-and particularly to Christianity-in order to advance his arguments.
Kort moves through more than a dozen of Lewis's major books, providing a useful guide
to their various elements while connecting readers to the literary contexts that influenced
the works and Lewis himself. Reading C. S. Lewis examines the standing of Lewis's
work, how best to approach the books, and the misunderstandings that lead to mistaken
readings. The commentaries also function as free-standing essays that can be read
individually and in any order
