The Wonderful World of C.S. Lewis's Narnia
New five-part Bible study guide from the Bible Society NSW.
Bible Society NSW today announced the release of The Wonderful World of C.S. Lewis's Narnia, a five-part Bible study guide for adults and teenagers written by Linda and Robert Banks and based on C.S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
“Linda and Robert Banks have spent many years helping people to understand and creatively use The Chronicles of Narnia and other writings of C.S. Lewis,” said Bible Society NSW CEO, Daniel Willis. “In this new book, they build on their experience as authors and communicators to create a study series with strong Biblical scholarship, in-depth questions and practical application.”
This book follows a range of other Narnia-based resources published and/or distributed by Bible Society NSW in conjunction with the release of the film, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. This included The Truth Inside the Fiction, a 16-page booklet that brings Biblical material into conversation with this well-loved story, also prepared by the Banks.
Walking with Giants tells the story of a late-night walk in Oxford, during which J.R.R Tolkien encouraged C.S. Lewis to consider the truth of Christian faith.
Dr Graham Cole, Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Chicago, says of the guide, “This is a first-rate study guide. With a judicious mix of carefully-selected quotes from Lewis himself and insightful questions, the guide provides an excellent avenue of entry into the world of Narnia and then helps us reconnect with our world in fresh ways. The guide helps us see how indeed C. S. Lewis has been rightly described as ‘the apostle to the imagination’.”
The Wonderful World of C.S. Lewis's Narnia is available from the Bible Society NSW bookshop for $5.95. Call 1 300 766 963 or order it online.
