C.S. Lewis and Friends: We come pretty close to stocking every book in print by C.S.
Lewis, and many of those about him. If you love Lewis (we count ourselves among those who think
he’s one of the greatest Christian apologists of all time), you’ll probably be interested in a sampling of
books by “friends”—J.R.R. Tolkien, George MacDonald, Owen Barfield, and Dorothy Sayers.
The key to Williams' mystically oriented theological thought, Descent into Hell (arguably Williams' greatest novel) is a multidimensional story about human beings who shut themselves up in their own narcissistic projections, so that they are no longer able to love, to 'co-inhere.' The result is a veritable hell. Vintage 1975 edition, red cover with abstract flame design; spine creased, owner name inside, back cover rubbed, text bright, solid & free of marks. View More...
"He Came Down from Heaven" is a1938 treatise by Charles Williams. Within it, Williams uses his skills as a literary critic to delineate the biblical themes of exchange and substitution from the Fall, through the history of Israel, to the inauguration of the kingdom by Jesus Christ. He also explores how these themes defined Christian culture during Middle Ages with reference to Dante's ideal of romantic love. Charles Walter Stansby Williams (1886 - 1945) was a British theologian, novelist, poet, playwright, and literary critic. He was also a member of the "The Inklings", a literary discussion g...

The short-lived but remarkable correspondence presented in Letters to Lalage took place toward the end of Charles Williams' life. Louis Lang-Sims was not the first young woman to seek his help or to fall beneath his spell. When she wrote to him in September 1943 Williams had already had numerous admirers, pupils, and disciples who looked to him for counsel, for advice, and most especially, for encouragement. His affinity with Louis Lang-Sims was not surprising. Some thirty years younger than he was, she was in due course herself to become a forceful and individual writer whose literary output,...

Spine creased/yellowed, crisp clean pages, a nice vintage copy. View More...
Charles Williams's brilliant, idiosyncratic vision of church history (told, as the subtitle reads, as 'A short history of the Holy Spirit in the Church') will, as only Williams can, illuminate your thinking about the relation between time and eternity as well as provide insight to the ideas that lie behind his novels and were so influential to aspects of C.S. Lewis' work. View More...
After an opening chapter that examines the nature of poetry itself and analyzes its effect upon the reader, the author, in The English Poetic Mind, moves on to his main purpose, which is to try to reveal the source of the drive to creation in three of the greatest English poets: William Shakespeare, John Milton, and William Wordsworth. In each he identifies a particular kind of crisis that is the origin of the poetic impulse. In the light of these discoveries he addresses the achievements of several lesser poets and concludes with a chapter that, in a more general way, tentatively offers a vis... View More...
