A Philosopher looks at C.S. Lewis

Like many C.S. Lewis books the typical "easy read" turns out to be a short book with a long corridor of thought content. I need to learn what I am in for with C.S. Lewis and,in this case, those who write books about him.Theological Bioethics: Participation, Justice, And Change (Moral Traditions Series) The author, a university philosophy professor, probably christian, looks at the collective writings of C.S. Lewis through the looking glass of a discipline other than theology. I have to be honest- I read this book some time ago as part of my daily train commute reading program. What sticks out is the paragraph on Lewis' view of the Trinity. The paragraph is in a neat graphic schematic form and can be used as useful apologetics for the numerous Trinity scoffers one runs into in street witnessing...muslims in particular. Worth reading... but avoid the long interuptions that broke my concentration. The book is well thought out and deserves long concentrated sittings and sequenced thought.
