C. S. Lewis: A Life: Eccentric Genius, Reluctant Prophet by Alister E. McGrath
4.0
Having read Lewis and read some others on Lewis and his life, much of McGrath's biography was familiar. Yet it was enjoyable throughout, and it makes valuable and interesting contributions to the understanding of one of the 20th century's most influential Christians.
My favorite aspect of McGrath's work was how it provided context and background information for Lewis's books. A deeper appreciation of each results when one more fully appreciates their author's humanity and setting.
Additionally, McGrath's new timeline for Lewis's conversion to Christianity is notable, and he helped me better understand the somewhat bizarre and mysterious relationship that Lewis shared with Mrs. Moore.
