The Lion's World

‘The Lion’s World’ gives you all the insight and spiritual wisdom of a man who has read, re-read and loved C. S. Lewis’ Narnia books since his teenage years. The parallels with the life of Christ and the Christian life are explored and explained with the gentle sensitivity of a man in tune with Lewis’ heart, mind and soul.

Rowan Williams gives a thoroughly engaging account of the Narnia novels opening up their Christian ideas and pictures to reveal the moral and spiritual wisdom of a great Christian thinker and story maker. The 104th Archbishop of Canterbury gives you a new perspective on the life, the beliefs and concerns of the 20th century’s greatest novelist in the cause of Christ. ‘The Lion’s World’ will help you get even more from the world’s best loved faith based stories – still in print after more than half a century.

For Christian readers, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is clearly a book about the life of Christ, but exactly why is that, and how do you explain it to others, and use the tale to help others find Christ? With spirit and conviction, Rowan Williams gives you the answers to attacks on Lewis from contemporary critics over charges of sexism, violence and the racial attitude common in his day and age.

From the beginning of the Narnia Chronicles series in 1950, C. S. Lewis words have equally captured the hearts and minds of children and adults. In ‘The Lion's World’, Rowan Williams gives you instant access to the hidden moral and spiritual hints and clues of the seven novels.

Whether you’ve read the whole Narnia cycle, just one book or simply fallen in love with the films, ‘The Lion's World’ will give you a renewed appreciation of their subtle literary artistry, and the powerful spiritual content. This beautiful book belongs on your bookshelf alongside your loved collection of C S Lewis novels to which it holds the key, delightfully revealing the meaning of the land beyond the wardrobe.
