Reviews
Review by Evangelicals Now June 06
The modern mindset enjoys reasoned argument. But we are moving into a postmodern era in which people seem to appreciate story rather than logic. With this in mind while you will find this book a joy to read and immensely informative personally, it might well also provide you with fresh ideas about how to use Narnia to share the gospel. I would highly recommend it.
Biog: Gene Veith Gene Veith, Ph.D is the author of 15 books on Christianity and literature, the arts, and culture and is respected for his scholarship on Lewis and the Narnia Chronicles. He has taught English literature for 25 years in both Christian and secular colleges and is currently the director of the Cranach Institute for the study of Christianity and Culture at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
