Synopsis

Un libro valiente, sutil y agudo sobre los milagros, la relación entre la ciencia y la fe, la redención o el destino final del hombre."Lewis me pareció el hombre más completamente convertido que he conocido", observa Walter Hooper en el prefacio de esta colección de ensayos de C. S. Lewis.“Toda su visión de la vida era tal que lo natural y lo sobrenatural parecían inseparablemente combinados”. Es precisamente este cristianismo omnipresente el que se demuestra en los cuarenta y ocho ensayos que componen Dios en el banquillo. Aquí Lewis se dirige tanto a cuestiones teológicas como a las que Hooper denomina "semiteológicas" o éticas. Pero ya sea que esté discutiendo El mal y Dios, Milagros, La decadencia de la religión o La teoría humanitaria del castigo, su visión y observaciones son total y profundamente cristianas.Extraídos de una variedad de fuentes, los ensayos fueron diseñados para satisfacer una variedad de necesidades y, entre otros logros, sirven para ilustrar los muchos ángulos diferentes desde los cuales podemos ver la religión cristiana. Van desde piezas relativamente populares escritas para periódicos hasta defensas más eruditas de la fe que aparecieron por primera vez en The Socratic Digest. Caracterizados por la honestidad y el realismo de Lewis, su perspicacia y convicción y, sobre todo, su total compromiso con el cristianismo, estos ensayos hacen de Dios en el banquillo un libro muy adecuado para nuestro tiempo.God in the DockA brave, subtle, and sharp book about miracles, the science-faith relationship, redemption or man’s final destiny”Lewis struck me as the most thoroughly converted man I ever met”, observes Walter Hooper in the preface to this collection of essays by C. S. Lewis.“His whole vision of life was such that the natural and the supernatural seemed inseparably combined.” It is precisely this pervasive Christianity which is demonstrated in the forty-eight essays comprising God in the Dock. Here Lewis addresses himself both to theological questions and to those which Hooper terms “semi-theological,” or ethical. But whether he is discussing “Evil and God,” “Miracles,” “The Decline of Religion,” or “The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment,” his insight and observations are thoroughly and profoundly Christian.Drawn from a variety of sources, the essays were designed to meet a variety of needs, and among other accomplishments they serve to illustrate the many different angles from which we can view the Christian religion. They range from relatively popular pieces written for newspapers to more learned defenses of the faith which first appeared in The Socratic Digest. Characterized by Lewis’s honesty and realism, his insight and conviction, and above all his thoroughgoing commitments to Christianity, these essays make God in the Dock very much a book for our time.

Author Bio

It is a lofty goal, but many would be pleased if the work they accomplished would last well after their death, and be lauded with posthumous praise. Such is what happened to British author Clive Staples Lewis. He was born on November 29, 1898 and passed on November 22, 1963...... just prior to his 65th birthday. It was 2013 on the 50th Anniversary of Lewis' death, that he was honored by being given a memorial in Poet's Corner in West minister Abbey.

Lewis wore many professional hats......that of novelist, poet, academic, medievalist, literary critic, essayist, lay theologian, broadcaster, lecturer, and Christian apologist. His best known work is The Chronicles of Narnia, The Screwtape Letters, and The Space Trilogy. He is the author of more than 30 books, translated into over 30 languages. As we are all aware, The Chronicles of Narnia had tremendous sales numbers and have been made popular on stage, TV, radio, and cinema.

Lewis married American author, Joy Davidman, in 1956, but sadly, she passed away only four years later from cancer at only 45 years old. Lewis then died in 1963 of renal failure.
