About this listen

C. S. Lewis was a profound thinker with the rare ability to communicate the philosophical and theological rationale of Christianity in simple yet amazingly effective ways. God in the Dock contains 48 essays and 12 letters written by Lewis between 1940 and 1963 for a wide variety of publications. Ranging from popular newspaper pieces to learned defenses of the faith, these essays cover topics as varied as the logic of theism, good and evil, miracles, vivisection, the role of women in church polity, and ethics and politics. Many of these writings represent Lewis' first ventures into themes he would later treat in full-length books.©1970 C.S. Lewis Pte Ltd. (P)2007 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Critic reviews

"[Both Lewis'] searching mind and [his] poetic spirit are readily evident....Here the reader finds the tough-minded polemicist relishing the debate; here, too, the kindly teacher explaining the cosmic extraction by means of clarifying analogies." ( New York Times Book Review)

Always amazed

I really enjoyed listening to the options of Lewis. I found it interesting that we still have the same descussions today as they had back then. I love the way Lewis talks to his audience, along with his bluntness.

Fantastic Listen

I’ve read just about everything from Lewis, and this stands as one of the greatest complications of his apologetic works. Highly recommend!

Excellent

The last hours worth of letters recorded here are clairvoyant concerning modern American society and progressive thought

If you've wanted more C.S. Lewis...This is it!

Absolutely great collection of his essays combined into a collective whole. Many of these aren't available elsewhere.
Also - great reader! Does a wonderful job, you would think Lewis was there speaking it himself.

Can't go wrong with Lewis and Cosham.

My only problem is that I'm sometimes to dumb to understand all he's saying. ;)

Insight for your soul

Each chapter holds a gem. Apologetics at its finest. Lewis will open the door to your mind wide open.

This was one of the best books I have read all year!

I absolutely loved this book. It covers a broad array of subjects. In short, it makes you think.

It is the perfect book to read during our modern times. CS Lewis work strikes me as being extremely relevant to helping better appreciate the society we live in.
