"McGrath provides a fascinating, readable, and original scholarly account of Lewis's interest in and concerns about 'science'. He introduces readers to a wide range of subjects implicated by the term-from magic and astrology to contemporary epistemology and apologetics-and draws on several of Lewis's most prominent works in the process." -- Jeffrey Barbeau, Wheaton College"McGrath's book is a very well informed and scholarly account of a missing piece of the twentieth-century history of the science-religion debate. It is a rigorous and historically attuned examination of Lewis in his context and is especially valuable in dispelling the cartoon impression of Lewis as an anti-scientific luddite immersed in fantasy and mediaeval literature." -- Christopher Southgate, University of Exeter"McGrath's goal for the book is to explore C. S. Lewis's views of science and religion and of how these two important human activities are related-and he does an outstanding job accomplishing it. We now have the first comprehensive treatment of how Lewis perceptively understood science and religion to shape the worldview of every historical period, thus greatly influencing how each age thinks about God, humanity, values, and faith.

Written in accessible style, the book will benefit both academics and interested laity." -- Michael L. Peterson, author of C.S.
