IN SEVEN witty, lucid, tough-minded essays C. S. Lewis considers questions that challenge the faith of modern Christians. He discusses the efficacy of prayer, the various usages of the phrase "I believe," the meaning of words like "culture" and "religion," the interplay of "good work" and "good works," the religious implications of life on other planets, and the doctrine of the Second Coming. This collection is also notable for a Screwtape dialogue in which that "very experienced devil" makes a brilliant speech on the opportunities for exploiting evil in the world, concluding, "Nowhere do we tempt so successfully as on the very steps of the altar." "Reveals the expected wit, the Chestertonian ability to make Christian orthodoxy exciting and fit for the brave rebel, and an abundance of offbeat insights into the human scene." 
New York Times Book Review
 
"[Lewis] addresses himself to the task of disputing disbelief with energy, humor, and intense conviction." 
Los Angeles Times
 
C. S. Lewis (1898-1963) gained international renown for an impressive array of works both popular and scholarly: a science fiction trilogy, children's books, a novel, poetry, literary criticism, and numerous books on Christianity. Among his most celebrated achievements are Out of the Silent Planet, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Screwtape Letters, The Four Loves, and Surprised by Joy.
