Why does our all-powerful, perfectly good God allow evil and suffering in the world?
Let's start considering what thoughtful questions we can pose to our guest speaker, Donald T. Williams, at our event on April 16th ("Is He Really Good? Aslan, Lewis, and the Problem of Pain").
Any ideas?

Does the world really need another book about C.S. Lewis?
Donald T. Williams thinks the answer is yes—and for a good reason.
Lewis wrote his most influential apologetics works nearly 80 years ago, in the middle of World War II. The world has changed dramatically since then. Yet many of his arguments—from the moral argument and the argument from reason to the famous trilemma—still shape how Christians think about faith today.
But simply repeating Lewis is not enough.
In Answers from Aslan, Williams explores Lewis’s arguments, their strengths, their limits, and—most importantly—how they can be adapted for a new generation. The goal is not to imitate Lewis word-for-word, but to learn his method so we can defend the faith thoughtfully in our own time and voice.
Along the way the book revisits some of Lewis’s most powerful ideas:
• The moral argument for God
• The argument from reason
• The argument from desire
• Lewis’s narrative vision of Christianity
• The problem of evil
• The role of imagination in apologetics
C.S. Lewis may still be the dean of Christian apologetics, but his real gift was teaching believers how to think.
This book helps us do exactly that.
