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.

Bareface: A Guide to C.S. Lewis's Last Novel (Volume 1)

By: Doris T. Myers

Price: $39.95

Publisher: University of Missouri: January 2018

Seller ID: 174505

ISBN: 0826221483

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

C. S. Lewis wanted to name his last novel "Bareface." Now Doris T. Myers's Bareface provides a welcome study of Lewis's last, most profound, and most skillfully written novel, Till We Have Faces. Although many claim it is his best novel, Till We Have Faces is a radical departure from the fantasy genre of Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia and The Screwtape Letters and has been less popular than Lewis's earlier works. In Bareface, Myers supplies background information on this difficult work and suggests reading techniques designed to make it more accessible t...

The Man Born to Be King: A Play-Cycle on the Life of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

Price: $41.00

Publisher: Wipf & Stock Publishers: July 2011

Seller ID: 96590

Binding: Paper Back

In twelve plays for broadcasting at monthly intervals, Dorothy L. Sayers drew on material from all four Gospels, keeping the theme of Jesus of Nazareth's divine kingship in focus throughout, while locating him firmly in the social and political context of his time. The first half cover episodes that precede the final journey to Jerusalem and the latter half primarily deal with Passion Week themes. It is the simplicity and profundity of Jesus' words in the Fourth Gospel especially that Sayers drew on in her own writing for the ""voice"" of Jesus ""on air."" The plays gave her an opportunity to ...

He That Should Come: A Nativity Play in One Act

By: Dorothy L. Sayers

Price: $16.00

Publisher: Wipf & Stock Publishers: July 2011

Seller ID: 96592

ISBN: 1610970225

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

In this first of her plays for religious broadcasting, a nativity play, Dorothy L. Sayers wanted to convince listeners of the truth that Christ was born into our deeply problematic world, in his case, in territory overrun by an army of occupation. Although framed as it were by the voices of the three 'wise men' asking whether the birth of a particular child could possibly fulfil their desires, the focus of the play is on the conflict of opinion (about roads, taxes, and so forth) expressed by those in the courtyard of the inn at Bethlehem. Joseph is given a most significant role, and it is the ...

The Emperor Constantine

By: Dorothy L. Sayers

Price: $25.00

Publisher: Wipf & Stock Publishers: September 2011

Seller ID: 96591

ISBN: 1610970217

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

A brief 'Prologue' by the 'Church' introduces the career of Constantine (from AD 305-337) with scenes from the empires of both west and east, concentrating on Constantine's progress to imperial power and inevitably in religious belief. He discovers Christ to be the God who has made him his earthly vice-regent as single Emperor. Summoning the Council of Nicaea in 325, an invigorating debate results in the acceptance of Constantine's formula that Christ is 'of one substance with God.' The implications of the Creed of Nicaea are revealed in the last part of the play in which it is Constantine's m...

Introducing the Dante Papers Trilogy: Introductory Papers on Dante Further Papers on Dante The Poetry of Search and the Poetry of Statement The Poetry of Search, with which the book opens, puts forward the suggestion that controversy about what kind of thing poetry ought to be has tended to overlook the fact that there are two kinds of poetry, corresponding roughly to the categories of Romantic and Classical but which she prefers to describe as the Poetry of Search and the Poetry of Statement. The poet of search writes to find out what he feels--Keats is an example--and the poet of statement w...

An Oxford student of C.S. Lewis's said he found his new tutor interesting, and was told by J.R.R. Tolkien, 'Interesting? Yes, he's certainly that. You'll never get to the bottom of him.' You can learn a great deal about people by their friends and nowhere is this more true than in the case of C.S. Lewis, the remarkable academic, author, populariser of faith - and creator of Narnia. He lost his mother early in life, and became estranged from his father, much to his regret. Throughout his life, key relationships mattered deeply to him, from his early days in the north of Ireland and his schoolda...

Tolkien and C.S. Lewis: The Gift of Friendship

ISBN: 1587680262

Condition: New

Lewis' first impression of Tolkien was of ''a smooth, pale, fluent little chap'' with ''no harm in him: only needs a smack or two.'' From such beginnings an invigorating friendship took seed. In coming years, Tolkien would return, ''Friendship with Lewis compensates for much'' -- commenting on their weekly pub chats and philosophical banter on everything from theology and politics to Middle-earth, Narnia and the next term's undergraduate syllabi. It's no secret the duo also experienced periods of coolness and concentrated disagreement, but Colin Duriez's rendering of their friendship (as far a...

An eagerly awaited exploration of Tolkien's Silmarillion

The content of Tolkien's mythology, the Silmarillion, has been the subject of considerable exploration and analysis for many years, but the logistics of its development have been mostly ignored and deserve closer investigation.

Nineteenth- and twentieth-century scholars understood the term mythology as a gathering of song and story that derived from and described an identifiable world. Tolkien made a continuous effort over several years to construct a comprehensive mythology, to include not only the stories them...

Splintered Light : Logos and Language in Tolkien's World

Price: $21.95

Publisher: Kent State University Press: November 2002

Seller ID: 177090

ISBN: 0873387449

Binding: Paper Back

Condition: New

The Silmarillion is the silent backdrop of the epic story told in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. This deep, imaginative mythology is in a sense the cradle, the molten gold from which the popular books were forged. Though its account of the creation and history of Middle Earth informs Tolkien's better-known plots and characters, The Silmarillion is admittedly the most difficult of his books to understand. Published posthumously and never 'polished' into a single storyline, it remains obscure and inaccessible for most readers. However, a few excellent critic...

J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and Silmarillion have long been recognized as among the most popular fiction of the twentieth century, and most critical analysis of Tolkien has centered on these novels. Granted access by the Tolkien estate and the Bodleian Library in Oxford to Tolkien's unpublished writings, Verlyn Flieger uses them here to shed new light on his better known works, revealing a new dimension of his fictive vision and giving added depth of meaning to his writing.

How do we defend the faith in today's world? Where are the connecting points with an audience that does not like or does not even care about religion? What will prevent us from being merely reactionary? Surprisingly, the best strategy may come from a writer who anticipated our present problem a hundred years ago: G.K. Chesterton.

In this scholarly, yet scrappy approach, English Priest and Former Boxer Paul Rowan masterfully makes the case of how Chesterton can be used to develop a new apologetics to engage the post-modern age.

The Flying Inn is a novel first published in 1914 by G. K. Chesterton. It is set in a future England where the Temperance movement has allowed a bizarre form of "Progressive" Islam to dominate the political and social life of the country. Because of this, alcohol sales to the poor are effectively prohibited, while the rich can get alcoholic drinks "under a medical certificate." The plot centres on the adventures of Humphrey Pump and Captain Patrick Dalroy, who roam the country in their cart with a barrel of rum in an attempt to evade Prohibition, exploiting loopholes in the law to temporarily ...
