"C. S. Lewis on Appearance and Reality in the Christian Life." Lewis knew well that Christians walk “by faith, not sight”, as the apostle Paul puts it (2 Corinthians 5:7). But what is the difference between faith and sight? How does faith differ from delusion? Michael Ward explores these themes as they are presented in Lewis’s writings, especially his fiction, and in particular his best-known works, the seven Chronicles of Narnia. Michael reveals surprising things as the author of award-winning Planet Narnia: The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C.S. Lewis (Oxford University Press), co-editor of The Cambridge Companion to C. S. Lewis (Cambridge University Press). He is a Literary Critic, Theologian, Actor and Priest.
