Till We Have Faces

Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably one of the most influential writers of his day. He was a fellow and tutor in English Literature at Oxford University until 1954 when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement.

‘The most significant and triumphant work he has yet produced’—The New York Herald Tribune Book Review‘He has quite a unique power for making theology an attractive, exciting and fascinating quest.’— Times Literary Supplement“I read Lewis for comfort and pleasure many years ago, and a glance into the books revives my old admiration.”—John Updike“C. S. Lewis is the ideal persuader for the half-convinced, for the good man who would like to be a Christian but finds his intellect getting in the way.”—New York Times“Lewis, perhaps more than any other twentieth-century writer, forced those who listened to him and read his works to come to terms with their own philosophical presuppositions.”—Los Angeles Times
