Abstract

Perelandra picks up the story of Elwin Ransom as he travels to Venus (Perelandra), a planet that, in biblical terms, has not experienced a fall from divine grace. As he completed his Ransom trilogy, Lewis was taking in child refugees displaced by the Blitz, serving in the Home Guard, and teaching and lecturing young men who would soon be sent into battle. Mystical Perelandra: My Lifelong Reading of C. S. Lewis and His Favorite Book, by James Como (Winged Lion Press, 172 pp., $24.99) THE year 1941, a truly ominous year in the struggle between civilization and barbarism, apparently prompted an obscure Oxford scholar - C. S. Lewis - to think more deeply about the problem of evil in the world, to great literary effect. [Extracted from the article]
