Terry Glaspey is the award-winning author of numerous books, including 75 Masterpieces Every Christian Should Know, which won a 2017 Christianity Today Book Award. His most recent work is Not a Tame Lion: The Life, Teachings, and Legacy of C.S. Lewis, which was a finalist for the best biography of the year with Christian Book Awards and the subject of this podcast.
One of the most brilliant minds of the twentieth century, C. S. Lewis bridged literature, philosophy, and religion. He taught at Oxford and Cambridge, all the while communicating in a clear, winsome manner that ordinary men and women could comprehend. His continued relevance is based on his understanding of the human predicament—a predicament that is intellectual and moral, as well as spiritual. Lewis points the way out of this predicament, but it’s not an easy way. It requires submission to God's authority, moral discipline, and integrity of action. Lewis shows how our lives can be lived in light of eternity and can demonstrate the hope that endures, even in these shadowlands.
