Helpful and worthwhile. Anyone seeking to understand Lewis's approach to the arts will profit from this array of interesting perspectives. -- Dr. Michael Ward co-editor of The Cambridge Companion to C.S. Lewis We need more books like this: books that not only celebrate and decipher Lewis's defense of the arts and of the ineradicable links between the Good, the True, and the Beautiful, but that wrestle alongside Lewis, extending and nuancing his arguments so that they will speak with direct and prophetic power to our modern and postmodern colleges and universities. -- Dr. Loius Markos author of Restoring Beauty: The Good, the True, and the Beautiful in the Writings of C.S. Lewis C.S. Lewis remains one the most popular and influential Christian writers and thinkers of the twentieth century. So much has been written about him, one wonders what else can possibly be said. But this book is a fascinating exploration of Lewis's thinking about the arts, making it a must read book for anyone who loves Lewis and loves the arts. -- Mary McCleary Regents Professor Emeritus at Stephen F. Austin
