C. S. Lewis on the Final Frontier

Sanford Schwartz offers a penetrating new reading of Lewis''s celebrated Space Trilogy. Taken together, Schwartz''s readings call into question Lewis''s self-styled image as a "dinosaur" out of step with the main currents of modern thought. Far from a simple struggle between an old-fashioned Christian humanism and a newfangled heresy, Lewis''s Space Trilogy should be seen as the searching effort of a modern religious apologist to sustain and enrich the former through critical engagement with the latter.
