Jack the Counselor

May 3rd, 2015

by Dr. Bruce L. Edwards (c) 2015. Ask any ten avid readers of C. S. Lewis to describe his vocation and I suspect 9 out of 10 will use one of the following terms: Christian apologist, fantasy/sf writer, children’s author, literary critic, Oxford don—a handful, maybe even “poet.” Few, I reckon, would think to refer […]

Christopher Hitchens on C. S. Lewis

July 1st, 2007

For those of you who have not heard of or seen it, British gadfly-commentator (maybe the only left of center curmudgeon who supports the Iraqi war), Christopher Hitchens (Vanity Fair, Slate, and other wide-syndication publications), has written a book entitled, God is Not Great.
