Jak Clive Staples Lewis, największy apologeta chrześcijański XX wieku, odpowiedziałby na nowy ateizm Richarda Dawkinsa i Christophera Hitchensa? Czy jego droga od ateizmu do chrześcijaństwa odpowiada na zarzuty nowych ateistów? Peter S. Williams w swojej książce zabiera nas w intelektualną podróż przez teksty Lewisa, które są istotne w dyskusji z współczesnymi antyteistami. Praca ta ukazuje głębię i aktualność apologetyki Lewisa, który przedstawia chrześcijaństwo jako Dobre, Piękne i Prawdziwe. Lewis broni tych wartości, uznając Boga za źródło wszelkiego dobra, piękna i prawdy, oraz wierzy, że ludzie, stworzeni na obraz Boga, dążą do tych boskich atrybutów. Każdy z nas ma pragnienie szczęścia, piękna i prawdy, co odzwierciedla prawdę, że Bóg spotyka nas, zanim my spotkamy Jego. Dr Michael Ward, Senior Research Fellow, oraz Peter S. Williams, chrześcijański filozof, przyczyniają się do zrozumienia myśli Lewisa. Seria "C.S. Lewis. Rozum i Wiara" prezentuje jego twórczość, argumentując na rzecz racjonalności teizmu, a jego analizy moralności i społeczeństwa pozostają aktualne. W Polsce brakuje jednak pogłębionych analiz jego poglądów, co ta seria ma na celu uzupełnić, oferując przystępne teksty o naukowej wnikliwości.

Před osmi lety začal mladý dokumentární fotograf Imrich Veber intenzivně zaznamenávat prostředí opavského Mariana, zařízení poskytujícího sociální služby klientům s mentálním či vícenásobným postižením. Celá instituce tou dobou zároveň procházela (a dodnes prochází) transformací a proměnou koncepce sociální péče, která se pak stala ústředním tématem Veberova souboru. Vznikl tak v rámci České republiky jeden z nejzajímavějších dokumentárních cyklů posledních dvaceti let.
