Beloved for his Narnian tales for children and his books of Christian apologetics for adults, C. S. Lewis was also a prophetic critic of the growing power of scientism in modern society, the misguided effort to apply science to areas outside its proper bounds. His writing on this subject couldn’t be timelier. Dr. West and Mr. Metaxas will consider Lewis’s life and legacy and his warnings about the use and abuse of science. West is editor of The Magician’s Twin: C. S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society, co-editor of the award-winning C. S. Lewis Readers’ Encyclopedia, and author of Public Life in the Shadowlands: What C. S. Lewis Can Teach Us About Politics.
