Beskrivning

C. S. Lewis, based on the popularity of his books and essays, is one of the best communicators of the twentieth century. During his lifetime he was hailed for his talents as author, speaker, educator, and broadcaster; he continues to be a best-selling author more than a half-century after his death. C. S. Lewis and the Craft of Communication analyzes Lewis’s communication skill. A comprehensive review of Lewis’s work reveals five communication principles that explain his success as a communicator. Based on Lewis’s own advice about communication in his books, essays, and letters, as well as his communication practice, being a skilled communicator is to be holistic, intentional, transpositional, evocative, and audience-centered. These five principles are memorably summarized by the acronym HI TEA. Dr. Steven Beebe, past president of the National Communication Association and an internationally-recognized communication author and educator, uses Lewis’s own words to examine these five principles in a most engaging style.

Lewis—Christian apologist, children’s book author, Oxford and Cambridge scholar—viewing Lewis through the lens of what he can teach us about human communication is likely a new experience. Beebe’s decades of Lewis scholarship and teaching from a communication standpoint has led to this singular contribution that expands our understanding of and appreciation for Lewis. For those who aspire to teach students about Lewis’s power to move people through his written and oral communication, we now have the perfect primer.”—Diana K.
