Description

Perhaps no other literary figure has transformed the American religious landscape in recent history as much as C.

S. Lewis. Even before the international publication and incredible success of his fictional works such as The Chronicles of Narnia or apologetic works like Mere Christianity, Lewis was already being read "across the pond" in America.

But who exactly was reading his work? And how was he received?With fresh research and shrewd analysis, this volume by noted historian Mark A.

Noll considers the surprising reception of Lewis among Roman Catholic, mainline Protestant, and evangelical readers to see how early readings of the Oxford don shaped his later influence. Based on the annual lecture series hosted at Wheaton College's Marion E.

Wade Center, volumes in the Hansen Lectureship Series reflect on the imaginative work and lasting influence of seven British authors: Owen Barfield, G.

K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, George MacDonald, Dorothy L. Sayers, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams.
