From the unbending belief in invisible powers that animates *Till We Have Faces* to the depiction of Aslan's sacrifice and resurrection in *The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe*, C. S. Lewis's writing has sparked intense debate about the presence and function of religion in his works. Today, a reader's opinion of Lewis is more often than not based on his or her perspectives on religion. In *Reading C. S. Lewis*, Wesley A. Kort examines Lewis's work as a whole, investigating why and at what points Lewis turns to religion--and particularly to Christianity--in order to advance his arguments.
Kort moves through more than a dozen of Lewis's major books, providing a useful guide to their various elements while connecting readers to the literary contexts that influenced the works and Lewis himself. *Reading C. S. Lewis* examines the standing of Lewis's work, how best to approach the books, and the misunderstandings that lead to mistaken readings. The commentaries also function as free-standing essays that can be read individually and in any order.
*Reading C. S. Lewis: A Commentary* sets a new standard for C. S. Lewis studies. A comprehensive examination of the major Lewis texts, this volume is a captivating look into the author's work from a refreshingly undogmatic point of view.
