If judged by Hunsinger's goal that "it will succeed only if it whets reader's appetite to read Barth" (xx), then Thy Word is Truth is an outstanding success.
God Draws Near
The reason I celebrate Advent is that it stands against man. Advent completely rejects man moving closer to God.
The Personal Nature of the Lord's Prayer
That makes this prayer the foundational prayer of the church because the Person who prays this prayer places it above all other prayers.
To Heaven & Back: A Liturgy That Hurts
With heaven a reality that Christian experience now, all of Lewis' analogy is being played out in the life of the church.
A Sprawling Essay
C. S. Lewis is a drum major in the Christian tradition. If you haven’t heard his song, you must remedy this.
Only Under Torture
Our suffering is never pointless, and through his own, Lewis is obliged to come to terms with the stakes of the game
The Republic of Malacandra
Perhaps C.S. Lewis meant for The Republic to stand as a prequel to the Space Trilogy!
Awakened From Cold Vulgarity
Lewis teaches us that the best way to defend children from believing in falsehoods is NOT by telling them that fairytales aren’t real. Rather, by inculcating the just sentiments that fairytales offer, children WILL be able to better defend themselves from falsehoods of the worst variety.

Take this “Language of Malacandra Quiz” and come back at the end of the week for the answers.

The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
