C. S. Lewisâs Christian Apologetics
Pro and Con
Series: - Value Inquiry Book Series, Volume: 286
- Philosophy and Religion, Volume: 286
Editor:
Are C. S. Lewisâs major arguments in defense of Christian belief sound? In C. S. Lewisâs Christian Apologetics: Pro and Con, defenders and critics of Lewisâs apologetics square off and debate the merits of Lewisâs arguments from desire, from reason, from morality, the âtrilemmaâ argument for the divinity of Christ, as well as Lewisâs response to the problem of evil. By means of these lively, in-depth debates, readers will emerge with a deeper understanding and appreciation of todayâs most influential Christian apologist.
Gregory Bassham, Professor of Philosophy at Kingâs College (Pennsylvania) is the author or editor of eight books, including two books on J. R. R. Tolkien and two on C. S. Lewis
