Overview

"""Is Man a Myth?"" asks the title of one of Mr. Tumnus's books. It was apparently an open question in Narnia during the Long Winter, and it has become so again for us. In Mere Humanity, Donald T. Williams plumbs the writings of three beloved Twentieth-Century authors to find answers that still resonate in the Twenty-First. Chesterton, Lewis, and Tolkien explain in their expositions and incarnate in their fiction a robust biblical doctrine of man that gives us a firm place to stand against the various forms of reductionism that dominate our thinking about human nature today."

Williams succeeds in weaving together images, quotations, and insights to shed considerable light on the human condition. A rewarding personal essay. Diana Pavlac Glyer, author of Bandersnatch and The Company They Keep: C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien as Writers in Community There have been several worthy studies of Lewis's criticism, notably by Bruce Edwards and Peter Schakel. But the most useful critique I've found was in Donald Williams's Mere Humanity. Jim Prothero, author of Gaining a Face: The Romanticism of C. S. Lewis
