Today marks the passing of C.S. Lewis from this world. While it’s been 45 years since he died, Lewis still provokes inspiration, discovery, and argument. He is remembered for writing the seven volumes of The Chronicles of Narnia as well as his famous apologetic work, Mere Christianity, derived from his radio talks at the BBC [...]

A great C.S. Lewis quote courtesy of The Kibitzer:*
In reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself. Like the night sky in the Greek poem, I see with a myriad eyes, but it is still I who see. Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, and in knowing, I [...]

I found an excellent CS Lewis quote today that fits our recent discussions very well:
“Reason is the natural organ of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning.”

p.s. Did it find it’s way into your book, Travis?

Can a movie improve upon a book which C.S. Lewis wrote that “[s]ales show that is longo intervallo [latin for “by a long interval”] the least popular of the Narnian books”? That certainly seems to be the aim of the director and producers of the film adaptation of Prince Caspian. From the lengthy battle [...]

In his book, Ward argues that each novel in the Narnia series corresponds to one of the seven planets of Medieval Cosmology. I met him at the February 2008 meeting of [...]

Anyone reading the literary criticism of The Chronicles of Narnia will notice that C.S. Lewis scholars have no answers regarding the supposed disorganized, “hodgepodge” (as Tolkien referred to his friend’s creation) that characterizes the series. That is until Michael Ward and his seminal work, Planet Narnia came along. Ward believes that the popular explanation [...]
