Fern-Seed And Elephants

​In I959, CS. Lewis read a paper to students at Cambridge attacking theologians who ‘claim to see fern-seed and can’t see an elephant ten yards away in broad daylight.’

These seven essays show Lewis at his most vigorous, defending his vision of a full-blooded, orthodox Christianity in his matchless prose style.

Among the subjects he addresses are the difference between forgiveness and excusing, the individual ‘member’ of the Christian Body, ‘The World’s Last Night’, and the implications of there being life on other planets.
