Lewis was an amazing author who has impacted the faith of millions of people around the world. Unfortunately, most people never read anything by C.S. Lewis other than The Chronicles of Narnia. This is good as far as it goes, but what a shame if that's all one ever reads of this genius. Although some may go on to read Mere Christianity or even The Screwtape Letters, Miracles or The Problem of Pain, very few have ever mined the riches that are to be found in Lewis's collected essays or had their longing for the numinous stirred by hauntingly brilliant Dymer and The Pilgrim's Regress. It is my desire in this book to show that Lewis is more than just Narnia. Beyond Narnia: The Theology of C.S. Lewis is an in-depth analysis of the most important themes in the work of C.S. Lewis, including the sensation of joy or longing as signposts to God, his view of the Bible as both myth and the Word of God, his defense of miracles against Hume's famous critique, his insightful observations on the problem of pain and his often misunderstood but groundbreaking thoughts on hell. This book provides an accessible and thorough introduction to C.S. Lewis for undergraduate students and Lewis fans who want to go deeper in their understanding.

“Beautifully written, expertly researched and masterfully presented, this tour of how heaven has been understood throughout history is absolutely fascinating.” —James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage A smart and thought-provoking cultural history of heaven. What do we think of when we think about heaven? What might it look like? Who or what might be there? Since humans began to huddle together for protection thousands of years ago, these questions have been part of how civilizations and cultures define heaven, the good place beyond this one. From Christianity to Islam to Hinduism and beyond, from the brush of Michelangelo to the pen of Dante, people across millennia have tried to explain and describe heaven in ways that are distinctive and analogous, unique and universal. In this engrossing cultural history of heaven, Catherine Wolff delves into how people and cultures have defined heaven over the centuries. She describes how different faiths and religions have framed it, how the sense of heaven has evolved, and how nonreligious influences have affected it, from the Enlightenment to the increasingly nonreligious views of heaven today. Wolff looks deep into the accounts of heaven to discover what’s common among them and what makes each conception distinct and memorable. The result is Beyond, an engaging, thoughtful exploration of an idea that is central to our humanity and our desire to define an existence beyond death.
