For Lewis and Chesteron fans

A nice collection of 17 essays by lovers of Lewis and G.K.C. Topics are arranged into five catagories. 1)Riddling Remembrances from those who knew them. 2)Spelling the riddle: Literary Assessments. 3)Living the Riddle: Their Social thought. 4)Proclaiming hte Riddle: Their social thought 5)Pursuing the Riddle of Joy.I read this for the Lewis articles and was not disappointed at all. Very much worth the read! I liked Peter Kreeft's essay on Lewis' argument for god's existence from the innate desire within us. We are thirsty since water exists, we are hungry becasue food exists, we yearn for God because God exists. Intersting.You may also enjoy "Permanent Things" edited by Tadie, which is a similar collection of essays on Christian literati.
