into the region of awe

the first 2 chapter were so marked up they were hard to read but I went from 3 to 4 stars because of the price, C S lewis is and will always be an enigma, hopefully the book will help explore the mystery

Recommended for public libraries & undergrad libraries

Downing's concise study provides a sufficient orientation for nonspecialist readers vis-a-vis mysticism and mystical experience in the Western Christian tradition. His command of Lewis's writings is secure, and his discussion of mystical themes in the space trilogy and the Narnian chronicles is appropriate.
