Produktbeschreibung

These nine classic sermons, delivered by C.S. Lewis during World War II, offer guidance and inspiration in a time of great doubt. While The Weight of Glory addresses some of the most difficult issues we face in our day-to-day lives, Lewis's timeless words provide an unparalleled path to greater spiritual understanding. The title sermon, considered by many to be Lewis's finest, is an incomparable elucidation of virtue, goodness, desire, and glory. Also included are "Transposition," "On Forgiveness," "Why I Am Not a Pacifist," and "Learning in War-Time."

Considered by many to be Lewis's most moving work, The Weight of Glory celebrates a compassionate vision of Christianity and includes rational and compelling discussions on forgiveness and death.

Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was born in Belfast. He was a fellow and tutor in English Literature at Magdalen College, Oxford, and was later Professor of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, where he remained until his death. Lewis's most distinguished and popular accomplishments include The Chronicles of Narnia, Out of the Silent Planet, The Four Loves, The Screwtape Letters, and Mere Christianity.

"Lewis combines a novelist's insights into motives with a profound religious understanding."
