Lewis's \"Till We Have Faces\"","description":"\u003ci\u003eTill We Have Faces \u003c\/i\u003eby C. S. Lewis has been described as the most controversial of Lewis's fiction--despised by some and celebrated by others. Yet Lewis himself regarded the novel as \"far and away the best [book] I have written.\" What are we to make of this strange and oftentimes dark retelling of the pagan myth of Cupid and Psyche? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this new guide, renowned philosopher and writer Peter Kreeft introduces readers to the style, setting, and characters of Lewis's novel; walks through ten philosophical and theological themes that permeate it, including the problem of evil, the question of identity, and the relationship between faith and reason; and, finally, shows how these various themes animate the drama of the narrative itself. The result is a deepened appreciation and understanding of a true masterpiece, one that offers not only wisdom, which is the end of all philosophy, but also wonder, which is its beginning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Kreeft\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Word on Fire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.09h x 5.88w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781685782962\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Peter Kreeft is professor of philosophy at Boston College and the author of more than one hundred books.
