A Topical Summary of His Best Work - 5: The Theology of C. S. Lewis

More about the book

(Updated 2018 Edition!) C.S. Lewis, a prominent Christian author of the 20th century, never considered himself a professional theologian. Lacking formal theological training, he was a philosopher and literature professor who articulated his insights on various issues with clarity and humility. This humility stemmed from his honest assessment of his strengths and weaknesses, contributing to his enduring appeal. Lewis identified as an "Anglican" but did not align strictly with any particular theological stance, making his views on doctrine subtle and complex. This book compiles his perspectives on Christian doctrines and topics from his extensive body of work, which includes nearly 60 books, none focused on systematic theology. It presents clear insights into his thoughts on inspiration, original sin, human depravity, evolution, intelligent design, theodicy, love and marriage, redemption, grace, new creation, and grief, particularly reflecting on his response to his wife's death. The final chapter and appendix feature his most impactful quotes organized by topic, along with excerpts and summaries from his works in a concise, bullet-point format. These sections serve as a valuable resource for quickly grasping the key themes in Lewis's bestselling writings.
