Publisher's Description

▼▲

In a world grown cold without wonder, how do we reimagine the drama and joy of Christianity? For C. S. Lewis, the answer was to invite us into Narnia, a new world that would help us see our own with fresh, healed eyes. Even now, it is not too late to go there.

When Lewis wrote his Chronicles of Narnia, he laid out a land where courage would be tested and character forged--where travelers would find themselves on a journey toward unimaginable beauty. The stories are not for children alone. They touch the mind and soul of anyone who is open to becoming childlike again, including adults who have become too weighed down by life to enjoy its simple glories.

The Chronicles of Transformation, edited by University of Notre Dame professor Leonard J. DeLorenzo, is a collaborative work between scholars and artists, aimed to open adult readers' eyes and hearts to the transformative power of Lewis' Narnia, book by book. Jesus teaches,"Unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." The Chronicles of Narnia, read anew, can help us do just that.

Includes seven original illustrations by Stephen Barany.

Editorial Reviews

▼▲

"The Chronicles of Transformation and Michael Ward's Planet Narnia are the two books that stand head and shoulders above all the many other books about Lewis' masterpiece. Both surprise us with unexpected insights and dimensions. And the seven authors of this book do it seven times! Other books about Narnia see and say the obvious, like boats that skim the surface of Lewis' seven seas. But this one is a diving suit that takes the reader down into the depths."
— Peter Kreeft, Author, The Philosophy of Tolkien

"Reading TheChronicles of Transformation was like opening a treasure chest. These essays about Lewis’ beloved Narnia series so richly blend literary analysis, external writings, and spiritual insights that I soon found myself jotting notes in the margins. I am eager to examine all the beautiful gems that I found and to read the series again!"
— Cheri Blomquist, Author, Before Austen Comes Aesop

"A valuable and insightful guide for readers who are ready to take a spiritual journey through Lewis' Narnia series. DeLorenzo has gathered stellar authors here to illuminate the spiritual truths in each of the chronicles. Readers will discover many theological treasures in Narnia through their reading of this volume and gain a deeper appreciation of Lewis' literary gifts as well."
— Holly Ordway, Author, Not God’s Type: An Atheist Academic Lays Down Her Arms

"Sometimes, as G. K. Chesterton reminds us, we need to stand on our heads in order to see things afresh. This thought-provoking series of essays allows us to do just that. It allows us to enter Narnia through new pathways, coming at Lewis' imaginary world from surprising angles, so that we can see it once again with eyes wide open with wonder."
— Joseph Pearce, Author, Faith of Our Fathers: A History of True England
