Fort he last thirty years of his life no other christian writer in this century had such influence on the general reading public as C. S. Lewis. Each new book from his pen was awaited with an eagerness which showed that thousands of intelligent men and women had acquired a taste for his distinctive idiom and had come to rely on him as a source of moral and intelledtual insight... This collection of esays and papers are representative of almost the whole of Lewis´s writting life; they are arranged chronologically from 1939 to 1963, and it is hard to detect any change of position between the first and the last... a tribute to the tenacity with wich he defended that orthodoxy wich he had established for himself.
