There are 13 essays in about 100 pages, so they’re all pretty short and to the point which makes for easy reading. ( ) 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 are able to 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. Before I discovered Adrian Plass and Philip Yancey, CS Lewis was unquestionably my favourite Christian author. He still ranks as one of my top three. For apologetics and clear explanations of doctrine, I don't think he has any equal. However this particular book isn't one of his best. To be fair, it was never intended as a book. It's a collection of Lewis's articles and talks on various topics, which don't really hold together. The chapters are short, and I enjoy his intellectual but clear style of writing. There were some gems in the early sections, but I was less impressed with some of the later chapters which displayed distinct upper-middle-class 1940s bias. All in all, not a good introduction to CS Lewis, but a nice addition for a collector of his works. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Este título tiene en común con otras obras de Lewis el hecho de ser un libro arrojado y valiente, sutil y que expresa lo trascendente con gran claridad. La mejor cualidad de Lewis -su maestría para armonizar sencillez y rigor, transparencia y precisión-se pone en esta colección de ensayos, al servicio de temas tan interesantes como los milagros, la relación fe-ciencia, la Redención o el destino final del hombre. Dios en el banquillo es también una obra única por su juiciosa doctrina moral y su razonada defensa de la Ley natural. Frente a ciertas " éticas " utilitaristas e indoloras que imperan actualmente, Lewis presenta la moral cristiana como una bocanada de aire fresco. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
