INKLINGS 4
All books are octavo unless stated otherwise. All the books are hardback and in original binding unless otherwise stated. All books are in very good condition; exceptions are noted for each book. All dust-jackets are placed in a clear protective sleeve. Lewis first editions are uncommon in very good condition. The books issued before the Second World War are scarcer, particularly in dust-jackets. The words ÔThis book is produced in complete conformity with authorised economy standardsÕ often graces the title-page verso. These books produced in war-time thus have paper and binding quality less than desirable to the collector today. The dust-jackets are also of thin and fragile paper. It is therefore nice to find copies from this period in fresh clean condition.
For reference we use the indispensable tool: C.S. Lewis. A Companion and Guide. Walter Hooper. London: HarperCollins. 1996. Which includes the helpful C.S. Lewis Bibliography.

Making All Things New:
The Good, the True, and the Beautiful in the 21st Century
C.S. Lewis Summer Institute
July 24 Ð August 6, 2005
In The Abolition of Man, C.S. Lewis warned that our culture was in imminent danger of abandoning the essential foundation of its core values, without which it could not long endure. The social and intellectual trends that followed his prophetic warning offer ample cause for the deepest foreboding. And yet Lewis was far from a pessimist with regards to the future.
In the spirit of Lewis, Oxbridge 2005 will explore the possibilities of Òmaking all things newÓ by examining both the meaning and contemporary relevance of the Good, the True, and the Beautiful across the wide spectrum of human experience. Complementing the insights offered by gifted speakers from the arts, humanities, sciences, and social sciences, this most significant theme will be further engaged through enriching encounters with music, dance, theatre, and worship.
An unforgettable experience!

C.S. Lewis: A Short Introduction
paperback, 128 Pages £7.99
C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) was the most talented and lucid apologist for Christianity that the last century produced. In essays, critical studies, poems, novels and works of autobiography, he turned his formidable literary gifts to the task of re-presenting the Christian view of human destiny to a world bewildered by scientific materialism. He did not shirk the real difficulties that Christian belief encounters, nor did he down-play the cost of faith in an age of self-indulgence. Nevertheless, the radiant happiness and good sense that shine through his prose have never ceased to find new and eager readers, and his books remain part of the canonical wisdom of our culture.
Philip Van der Elst
surveys the whole of Lewis's vast output and gives a clear and illuminating
summary of his stance towards the outstanding questions of our civilisation.
Setting the writings within the context of Lewis's own painful life and
striking conversion, he shows the enduring importance of a thinker whose vision
of modern life was both comprehensive and profoundly optimistic. Van der Elst's
book provides a lucid and stimulating introduction; for those already familiar
with Lewis's writings it offers a challenging analysis of their meaning and of
the continuous thread of argument which runs all through their various themes.
An indispensable guide
to an indispensable thinker.
