Often taxing to read, it is well worth the effort. <br /><br />I mention this as an interesting piece, tangentally mentioning CSL, was published in the Nov-10 edition:<br /><br />http://www.firstthings.com/article/2010/10/go-with-god<br /><br />Lewis for today? Society has changed of course, but my old tutor Alister McGrath. His latest book 'Mere Theology' is fun...<br /><br />http://users.ox.ac.uk/~mcgrath/<br /><br />... but as you know, there are many (many) others to chose from! His gift is to make complex things 'simple' (a la Lewis) and to gradually lead the reader into more technical areas step-by-step. (i.e. starting with Alister in the wrong place can be disastrous)!<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Roger R.Arborfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09378273311339123481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846380584667288537.post-51190945995649570102010-12-01T13:37:45.948+00:002010-12-01T13:37:45.948+00:00Thanks Roger.
