A thoughtful engagement with the BBC's archives of C.S. Lewis. Phillips' narrative is remarkably effective at nested contextualization - situating Lewis' work in the context of the BBC's religious broadcasting mission, and then situating the BBC's religious broadcasting mission in the context of the British homefront struggle. Phillips' convincingly argues the importance of Lewis' experience of broadcasting with the BBC in the development of Lewis' communication skills and the establishment of his international reputation. He also demonstrates the role that Lewis' talks played in shaping a new landscape of religious broadcasting.
