Essays on Theology and Ethics
 
Here C. S. 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 are able to view the Christian Religion. These essays, characterized by Lewis's honesty and realism, his insight and conviction, above all by his thoroughgoing commitments to Christianity, make "God in the Dock" very much a book for our time.
