“Susan was not killed in that last railway accident, and we should not speculate about her final destiny unless we want Aslan to growl at us for impudent guesswork about somebody else’s story. And besides, if anybody wants to argue that the ultimate Cair Paravel in the center of the ultimate Narnia only had three …
Three Feet of Partly Cloudy
The real losers last night — not that anyone is likely to take real notice — were the pollsters. This is not the case because we had a wave election, because a number of people were predicting that. The surprises all came in the margins. Races that were not supposed to be close, like Warner …
The Logic Will Out

Floral Theology
“Let me take a moment to conduct a very brief tour of the Narnian tulip garden — a place of fond memories for me because this is where I first learned my foundational lessons in the meaning of grace. Now I admit that these are Narnian tulips, so they don’t look quite the same as …

Full disclosure: I won’t be done with this book for a couple more days, but it is …
Ninja Hits the Target
Now here is a fun thing for you to do. Not only would it be fun, but it is a combination of kingdom work, Christmas shopping, being nice to Canon, and brings a host of other correlative bennies in its train. As it happens, Target has picked up a Canon title to carry, which is …
Passwords and the Guild
A Protestant Axiom
“Some staunch Protestants may be distressed by the fact that, at the beginning of Mere Christianity, Lewis grants the Roman Catholics ‘a room’ in the great house of our faith, wondering why the Catholics get a room. But we shouldn’t forget that this conception of the house is a Protestant conception” (From The Romantic Rationalist, …
