Description

Women and C.S. Lewis is a collection of interviews and essays, from a group of distinguished scholars commissioned by the C.S. Lewis Foundation. Critics say Lewis was sexist in his views on women. Opinion pieces by both eminent Lewis scholars and newer thinkers review Lewis's personal relationships with women and treatment of women in his writings. The book is drawn together in a final section which examines whether Lewis's views are relevant or out of touch for the twenty-first century. Invited contributors range from scholars to bloggers and include Alister McGrath, Randy Alcorn, Monika Hilder, Colin Duriez, Crystal Hurd, Jeanette Sears, David C. Downing, Malcolm Guite, and others. Edited by Carolyn Curtis, veteran journalist and book author, and Mary Pomroy Key, Director, Special Programs, C.S. Lewis Foundation. This multi-contributor volume is an essential read for both scholars and fans of Lewis and his writings.

Media Reviews

“A remarkably fine tribute to C.S. Lewis.” -- Walter Hooper, literary advisor to the C.S. Lewis Estate, United Kingdom
“Thanks! Someone needed to write this book.” -- Eric Metaxas, New York Times best-selling author of Miracles, Bonhoeffer, 7 Men, and others.
“Excellent for both fans of Lewis and for scholars. Rich in truth and wisdom for the twenty-first century. A most welcome contribution to closure on the vital question of Lewis’ views on gender.” -- Dr J. Stanley Mattson, Founder and President, The C.S. Lewis Foundation, Redlands, California.
“This book brings new light, thought, and perception to the subject of women in C.S. Lewis’ life and writings. These essays are full of shared wisdom and cogent argument that will challenge your perceptions of Lewis and his world.” -- Brian Sibley, writer and broadcaster known for his highly acclaimed BBC serializations of The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings.
"Finally, here is a book that properly places Lewis in his socio-cultural setting for a thorough and positive examination of nearly every aspect in which women touched his life – from created literary characters, professional acquaintances, familial relationships, literary references, to the deep marital love that so blessed his life with Joy. This collective work of prominent Lewis scholars is an extraordinary and vital read for any Lewis enthusiast.” -- Deborah Higgens, PhD, former Director of the C.S. Lewis Study Centre, Oxford; Professor of Medieval Literature, La Sierra University, California; author of Anglo-Saxon Community in J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.
