Some of the best online resources for CS Lewis information (the good stuff, not just the Lewis fan sites)
- Still Surprised by Lewis
- Classic 1998 article by JI Packer. Reflecting on why Lewis' work continues to touch our hearts even today. On the Christianity Today Website.
- The Question of God
- Web resource for the excellent PBS series based on the Harvard course by Dr. Armand Nicholi. The course compares and contrasts CS Lewis and Sigmund Freud in their thoughts about human nature and God. Here you can also order the book and the DVD of this program.
- Wikipedia Article
- The web's best encyclopedia -- a must read starting point for just about any subject
- Lewis' Favorite Books
- One of the more helpful pages I've found on a fan site.
- Christianity Today Articles
- Not just a bunch of hagiographical rehash, these articles represent a breadth of interest. All published by Christianity Today. Of particular interest is Lauren Winner's critique of the "new" Narnia story.
- The CS Lewis Foundation
- "From its very inception until now, the C.S. Lewis Foundation has been devoted to one primary mission: namely that of enabling a genuine renaissance of Christian scholarship and artistic expression within the mainstream of the contemporary university." --- these are their lofty goals...worth checking into, No?
- Into the Wardrobe
- One stop shopping with biography and papers and message forums. Quite the place for CS Lewis fans to have the itches scratched
