‘The Lion’s World’ gives you all the insight and spiritual wisdom of a man who has read, re-read and loved C. S. Lewis’ Narnia books since his teenage years. The parallels with the life of Christ and the Christian life are explored and explained with the gentle sensitivity of a man in tune with Lewis’ heart, mind and soul.
Rowan Williams gives a thoroughly engaging account of the Narnia novels opening up their Christian ideas and pictures to reveal the moral and spiritual wisdom of a great Christian thinker and story maker. The 104th Archbishop of Canterbury gives you a new perspective on the life, the beliefs and concerns of the 20th century’s greatest novelist in the cause of Christ. ‘The Lion’s World’ will help you get even more from the world’s best loved faith based stories – still in print after more than half a century.
For Christian readers, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is clearly a book about the life of Christ, but exactly why is that, and how do you explain it to others, and use the tale to help others find Christ? With spirit and conviction, Rowan Williams gives you the answers to attacks on Lewis from contemporary critics over charges of sexism, violence and the racial attitude common in his day and age.
From the beginning of the Narnia Chronicles series in 1950, C. S. Lewis words have equally captured the hearts and minds of children and adults. In ‘The Lion's World’, Rowan Williams gives you instant access to the hidden moral and spiritual hints and clues of the seven novels.
Whether you’ve read the whole Narnia cycle, just one book or simply fallen in love with the films, ‘The Lion's World’ will give you a renewed appreciation of their subtle literary artistry, and the powerful spiritual content. This beautiful book belongs on your bookshelf alongside your loved collection of C S Lewis novels to which it holds the key, delightfully revealing the meaning of the land beyond the wardrobe.
Rowan Williams is the Archbishop of Canterbury. His most recent books include A Silent Action: Engagements with Thomas Merton (2011), Dostoevsky: Language, Faith and Fiction (2011), Tokens of Trust: An Introduction to Christian Belief (2007), Grace and Necessity: Reflections on Art and Love (2006) and Silence and Honey Cakes: The Wisdom of the Desert (2004).
PUBLISHER’S DESCRIPTION
In this absorbing exploration of the world of Narnia, Rowan Williams provides a guide to the moral landscape of the novels, and an expert account of their spiritual symbolism. He shows how, through the character of Aslan, Lewis aimed to communicate ‘a real experience of surrender in the face of absolute incarnate love’.
Drawing on Lewis’s life, beliefs and significant themes from his other novels, Williams illuminates our view of Narnia while also answering critics who regard Lewis’s fiction as marred by sexism, racial stereotyping, and the glorification of violence.
A compelling account of the Narnia novels, unlocking their Christian symbolism and exploring the moral and spiritual wisdom that C. S. Lewis intended to convey. Answers contemporary critics of Lewis (such as Philip Pullman) over charges of sexism, violence and racial stereotyping.
Whether you have read the whole series or just t enjoyed one of the films,
The Lion’s World is a rewarding and ultimately joyful read for people of all ages and backgrounds. Renew your appreciation of C. S. Lewis' seven Narnia novels and their Christian symbolism in the company of lifelong Narnia reader, Archbishop Rowan Williams.

Following the appearance of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in 1950, C. S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia have enchanted children and adults alike for over half a century.
In The Lion’s World Rowan Williams explores the moral landscape of all seven novels in the series, and offers an astute guide to their spiritual subtext. He draws on significant aspects of their author’s life and thought, and on key themes in his other novels, painting a richly textured picture of his aims and achievements. At the same time, Williams gently but firmly rebuts those critics who have charged Lewis with sexism, racial stereotyping and the glorification of violence.
Whether you have read the whole Narnia series or simply enjoyed one of the films, The Lion’s World is a rewarding and ultimately joyful read – one that will send you back to the novels with a deeper sense of their subtle literary artistry, and the powerful spiritual insights they contain. Publisher
Clarity and creativity are fused with imagination and interpretation in this sweep of Narnia. Rowan William’s insight & writing are majestic. There is freshness and warm humanity to the underbelly of this beautiful new work. The lightness of touch must not disguise the depth of incision, with a poetic and gracious twist:-‘Being told your story doesn't compel your assent!’ Themes are movingly gathered and wisely explored here.
In The Lion’s World, Aslan is taken as an orthodox read-across from Jesus. The depiction of Aslan the Lion lets us sense afresh ‘what the experience of God is like’, shedding delusion & falsehood. Transcendence is the wildness of joy; and the truth of God becomes a revolution against what we have made of ourselves.’
This will certainly become a classic for lives enriched by the power of Narnia. This is brought together attractively in a new format SPCK volume with enhancing artwork by Monica Capoferri. Probing, provocative & a sheer pleasure!
