Lewis's Ransom Trilogy","description":"“This book opened up the Ransom Trilogy to me like no other. If you read only one book on Lewis this year, read this one.” - Joel Heck, Concordia Lutheran Seminary\n\nYears before he wrote the Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis published another fantastical fiction series: the Ransom Trilogy. Yet these three novels – Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength – have never enjoyed the same widespread popularity as Narnia or any of Lewis’s apologetical works, whether in mainstream culture or among Christians.\nHowever, as the twenty-first century unfolds, readers are rediscovering the Ransom Trilogy as a vital and prophetic work for our cultural moment. Life on the Silent Planet is a groundreaking collection of essays, bringing together an accomplished group of scholars and writers to discover and apply the insights of these novels to Christian living, particularly focussing on the unique vices and challenges of modernity. Fraught topics such as gender, contraception, bureaucracy, and transhumanism, often overlooked or shied away from in contemporary Christian teaching, were diagnosed and anticipated by Lewis with startling clarity in the 1930s and 40s. This volume seeks to bring these insights, woven into the rich imaginative world of the Ransom Trilogy, to bear upon the realities of the Christian life, enabling Christians to think deeply, live faithfully, and tune themselves again to the music of what Lewis called “the Great Dance” of creation.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1949716252\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1949716252.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Laverty, Rhys|Ward, Michael|Ordway, Holly|Markos, Louis|Rigney, Joe|Meador, Jake|Black-Roberts, Susannah|Redemer, Colin|Minich, Joseph|Hale, Christiana\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
