<DIV><DIV><B><I>C.S. Lewis For Beginners</I> is a thorough examination of C. S. Lewis, the greatest Christian apologist of the twentieth century, throughout his career as an author and as a professor at Oxford University.</B><br/><br/>A Christian apologist defends Christianity as a consistent and coherent worldview that squares with human reason, history, and desire. It offers answers to every facet of our lives on earth as well as answers to our questions about what happens after we die.<br/><br/>What makes C.S. Lewis unique as an apologist is the way he balanced so perfectly reason and imagination, logic and intuition, and head and heart. In addition to writing such non-fiction apologetics books as <I>Mere Christianity, The Problem of Pain,</I> and <I>Miracles,</I> he wrote eleven novels: the seven <I>Chronicles of Narnia,</I> a trilogy of science-fiction adventures, and a haunting retelling of an old myth set in the ancient world. All eleven tell wonderful, captivating stories that stand on their own as fiction but that also support and bring to life the kinds of apologetical arguments he makes in his non-fiction. He also wrote two utterly unique works of fiction, <I>The Screwtape Letters</I> and <I>The Great Divorce,</I> that offer a fresh, highly original take on sin and temptation, angels and devils, and heaven and hell.<br/><br/>And that&rsquo;s not all. Lewis the apologist and novelist had a day job. He was a celebrated English professor at Oxford, and then Cambridge, University who wrote works of literary criticism that are still famous today.<B><I> C.S. Lewis For Beginners</I></B> takes the reader through the wardrobe of his complete catalog of writing.</DIV></DIV>

<DIV><DIV><B>In <I>Faith on Trial</I>, Mark Caggiano invites religious progressives and liberals to re-enter the national conversation about religion and the law, complete with historical context and legal analysis.</B><br/><br/>Books about religion and the law are generally aimed at two audiences: lawyers and religious conservatives. These tendencies are a result of expectations on the subject as being either highly technical or arising from a conservative impulse to protect religious and cultural traditions.<br/><br/><B><I>In Faith on Trial: Religion and the Law in the United States</I></B>, legal scholar and Unitarian Universalist minister Mark J. T. Caggiano, argues that concerns about separation of church and state often serve to silence religious viewpoints of people on the Left, many of whom exit the conversation in the hope of protecting important social issues from religious infighting. But it is impossible to win a debate that you never join, and as Caggiano writes, it is paramount in these times that &ldquo;religious liberals and progressives cultivate and refine an ability to articulate the need for moral changes within the political system. That goal will require an understanding of the law as well as a moral vision for the world.&rdquo;<br/><br/>Geared toward religious progressives and liberals&mdash;and complete with historical context, legal analysis, and examples of specific legal cases and statues&mdash;<I>Faith on Trial</I> is an invitation to the religious Left to re-enter the societal debate about morals and ethics, with social progress and inclusion at the center of a national conversation about religion and the law.</DIV></DIV>
