What C.S. Lewis Achieved

By: Philip Wik

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

C.S. Lewis has been an intellectual sparring partner and a model for my writing. Although I disagree with some of what Lewis wrote, I must affirm my gratitude and my admiration for him as a person and as an influence on my life.

My goal in this book is to show that in these essays. My essays include forays into philosophy, theology, fantasy, literary criticism, and biography.

“Philip Wik’s book is an exploration of the life, work, and impact of C.S. Lewis. It examines how Lewis's writings, particularly his theological and philosophical ideas, have influenced literature and modern Christian thought. The book is well-regarded for its insightful analysis of Lewis's achievements in various fields, from fiction to apologetics.”
