Zusatztext Lewis paid the supreme compliment to the classics he read by recalling and embodying their leading ideas in his own works. But exactly how and why did those classics influence Lewis's own thinking? To answer that question, David and Susan Werther's collection brings together first-rate scholars in literature, philosophy, and Christian thought to explore ten of the great books that left their mark on Lewis. Beautifully written and rich with insight, C. S. Lewis's List is an ideal companion for classes on the life and works of Lewis, or for a great-books program with Lewis as tour guide. Informationen zum Autor David Werther is Director of Independent Learning at the University of Wisconsin-Extension, USA, and has taught theology in the extension program of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, USA. He is co-editor, with Mark Linville, of The Christian Worldview: Analysis, Assessment and Development (2012). Susan Werther is a freelance editor and has worked as a graphic artist and a museum educator at the Department of Geoscience at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA.
