Book Synopsis The Surprising Imagination of C. S. Lewis by : Jerry Root
Download or read book The Surprising Imagination of C. S. Lewis written by Jerry Root and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narnia, Perelandra—places of wonder and longing. The White Witch, Screwtape—personifications of evil. Aslan—a portrait of the divine. Like Turkish Delight, some of C.S. Lewis’s writing surprises and whets our appetite for more. But some of his works bite and nip at our heels. What enabled C.S. Lewis to create such vivid characters and compelling plots? Perhaps it was simply that C.S. Lewis had an unsurpassed imagination. Or perhaps he had a knack for finding the right metaphor or analogy that awakened readers’ imaginations in new ways. But whatever his gifts, no one can deny that C.S. Lewis had a remarkable career, producing many books in eighteen different literary genres, including: apologetics, autobiography, educational philosophy, fairy stories, science fiction, and literary criticism. And while he had and still has critics, Lewis' works continue to find devoted readers. The purpose of this book is to introduce C.S. Lewis through the prism of imagination. For Lewis, imagination is both a means and an end. And because he used his own imagination well and often, he is a practiced guide for those of us who desire to reach beyond our grasp. Each chapter highlights Lewis’s major works and then shows how Lewis uses imagination to captivate readers. While many have read books by C.S. Lewis, not many readers understand his power to give new slants on the things we think we know. More than a genius, Lewis disciplined his imagination, harnessing its creativity in service of helping others believe more deeply. “Truly fresh, rhetorically astute works about C. S. Lewis are rare, but this provocative new volume by Jerry Root and Mark Neal emerges at just the right time to reinvigorate Lewis scholarship beyond the clichés we continue to repeat to each other. The Surprising Imagination of C. S. Lewis delivers just that salvo, an ingenious, empathetic, lavishly informed elucidation of Lewis’s understanding of the life of the imagination.” —Bruce L. Edwards, Professor Emeritus of English and Africana Studies, Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OH “Our grasp of ‘imagination’ is such a pale and paltry thing; Neal and Root offer a much-needed corrective by illustrating Lewis’s robust use of the word. The happy result is a more accurate and nuanced reading of Lewis. But there is more: through their careful work, we are graced with a rich, new vocabulary to discern and describe the many uses of creative imagination all around us.” —Diana Pavlac Glyer, Professor of English at Azusa Pacific University, Azusa, CA, author of The Company They Keep: C .S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien as Writers in Community “This fabulous book on Lewis’s imagination will delight readers new to Lewis and those who, like the authors, have been reading him for decades. It shimmers with the joy of exploration and discovery. The Surprising Imagination of C. S. Lewis is a reliable and inspiring guide not only to Lewis but to a treasure trove of imaginative books that fired Lewis’s own imagination. In Robert Frost’s delightful phrase, this book is the occasion for a ‘fresh think.’” —Wayne Martindale, Emeritus Professor of English, Wheaton College, Wheaton, IL “Jerry Root and Mark Neal make excellent use of Lewis's literary criticism of other authors to show how he employed different varieties of imagination in his own works. The result is a good book about Lewis and an even better one on the capacity of imagination to enrich each of our lives every day.” —Mark Noll, Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN “For nearly four decades I have been reading books and articles in the field of Lewis studies. This volume is one of the most original and fascinating books on Lewis to appear in a long time.” —Lyle W. Dorsett, Billy Graham Professor of Evangelism, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University, Birmingham, AL

Download or read book God in the Dock written by C. S. Lewis and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lewis struck me as the most thoroughly converted man I ever met," observes Walter Hooper in the preface to this collection of essays by C.S. Lewis. "His whole vision of life was such that the natural and the supernatural seemed inseparably combined. "It is precisely this pervasive Christianity which is demonstrated in the forty-eight essays comprising God in the Dock. Here Lewis addresses himself both to theological questions and to those which Hooper terms "semi-theological," or ethical. But whether he is discussing "Evil and God," "Miracles," "The Decline of Religion," or "The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment," his insight and observations are thoroughly and profoundly Christian. Drawn from a variety of sources, the essays were designed to meet a variety of needs, and among other accomplishments they serve to illustrate the many different angles from which we are able to view the Christian religion. They range from relatively popular pieces written for newspapers to more learned defenses of the faith which first appeared in The Socratic Digest. Characterized by Lewis's honesty and realism, his insight and conviction, and above all his thoroughgoing commitments to Christianity, these essays make God in the Dock very much a book for our time.--Amazon.com.

Book excerpt: The question for all ages: Does the Bible conclusively prove that God will Rapture the Church before, during or after Daniel's Seventieth Week, commonly referred to as the Tribulation period? As the controversy rages and debaters rant and rave, Dr. Stauffer and Dr. Ray methodically, systematically, and objectively consider many of the end times? details concerning the timing of the Rapture.

Book excerpt: You know about Noah, but what about the animals? Thimblerig is a little groundhog with big problems. He's a loner con-artist who's losing his mojo; the wild dogs who run the forest harass him at every turn; he's started having vivid nightmares of apocalyptic floods; and worst of all - he believes he sees unicorns when everyone knows unicorns are only the stuff of legend. But what one animal calls problems, Thimblerig calls opportunity. His problems inspire him to come up with the ultimate con: convincing a group of gullible animals that a world-ending flood is coming, that the fabled unicorns have told him where the only safe place will be, and that only he can lead them to safety. And all for a reasonable price, of course. But when the flood really does come, Thimblerig has a choice to make: either he really does save the ones who have trusted him, or he loses everything. And he discovers that his problems have only just begun.

Book excerpt: Over the last few decades, celebrated theorists and philosophers have increasingly contemplated the future of humanity through a predictive lens--the meaning and purpose of our existence in light of the Bible's end-times narrative.

In this wide-ranging and authoritative work, recognized experts from around the globe examine extraordinary developments currently playing out in geopolitics, science and technology, discovery, and even the supernatural, under the microscope of Scripture. The magnitude of individual choices and opportunities that lie just ahead, these experts say, will soon impact all of our lives in unprecedented ways.NOW, FOR THE FIRST TIME, IN "I PREDICT" YOU WILL...*Discern the facts behind whether the Ark of the Covenant has been found*Learn about the Final Roman Emperor and the Vatican's Last Crusade*Finally understand the truth behind the Islamic Mahdi and the secrets of Apollyon*Witness efforts now underway that could lead to the Third Jewish Temple*Discover a hidden agenda that may force mankind into an epic World War*Determine how to prepare for a coming global monetary collapse*Read why some believe we are about to witness angels everywhere*Study the phenomenal prediction involving the next Great Awakening*Examine the case for a coming Global World Government*Grasp the arrival of amazing technology that will transform literally everythingContributing authors: Dr. Thomas Horn, Joel Richardson, Mark Biltz, Carl Gallups, Josh Tolley, Derek Gilbert, Josh Peck, Larry Spargimino, Troy Anderson, Dr. Gordon McDonald, Sharon Gilbert, Paul McGuire

Download or read book Discerners written by Larry Spargimino and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-04 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When people keep turning their backs on God, they eventually become so wicked that He stops pleading for them to repent. Their hearts and minds simply can't be returned to Him. Soon after that point, His judgment begins.Thankfully, Christians have a God-given, spiritual gift of being able to discern the signs indicating how soon that judgment might be. So, it's up to believers to step up and shoulder the responsibility of being "watchmen on the wall" during these confusing and troubling times.Discerners: Analyzing Converging Prophetic Signs for the End of Days does just that.In this book, eighteen authors - including noted broadcasters, teachers, and Bible scholars - tackle issues that are critical for this generation of believers to understand. Each contributor examines, under the microscope of Scripture, a specific topic, from anti-God movements within religion and culture to satanic geopolitical rearrangements. This, we believe, will help make understandable the madness taking place in this generation.Discerners helps shine Heaven's light on these strange but exciting times so near when Jesus will step out on the clouds of glory and call all who are born again to Himself (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17).Authors include Todd Strandberg, Dr. Larry Spargimino, Don McGee, Jeff Kinley, Nathan Jones, Daymond Duck, Tom Hughes, Phillip Goodman, Grant Phillips, Jim Fletcher, Bill Salus, Pete Garcia, Gary Stearman, Ryan Pitterson, Jan Markell, Tim Cameron, and Dr. David Reagan.What I say unto you, I say unto all, Watch.

Book Synopsis Screwtape Proposes a Toast by : C.S. Lewis
Download or read book Screwtape Proposes a Toast written by C.S. Lewis and published by Strelbytskyy Multimedia Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Screwtape Proposes a Toast" by C.S. Lewis is a satirical and thought-provoking work that serves as an addendum to Lewis's earlier masterpiece, "The Screwtape Letters." In this sequel, Lewis revisits the demonic bureaucracy of Hell, presenting the senior demon Screwtape delivering a toast to a group of graduating demons. Through this imaginative and allegorical narrative, Lewis explores themes of human weakness, societal trends, and the subtle ways in which evil can infiltrate everyday life. Screwtape's toast becomes a darkly humorous commentary on the dangers of contemporary ideologies, societal norms, and the erosion of traditional values. This brief yet impactful work offers readers a satirical lens through which to examine the complexities of human behavior and the ever-present temptations that may lead individuals away from a virtuous path. "Screwtape Proposes a Toast" showcases Lewis's keen wit and insightful observations, inviting readers to reflect on the moral challenges of their own time and consider the timeless principles that shape human character.
