About this title

Review:

"This NRSV edition can survive beyond the Sunday-school classroom or hotel nightstand; the reader walks away with a greater appreciation for Lewis's oeuvre, and may even pick up a thing or two from the Good Book in the process."--The New Yorker

For longtime admirers of Lewis--or those just awakened to his contributions through the Narnia films--[The C.S. Lewis Bible] would make a welcome addition to enrich personal devotional times.--United Methodist Reporter
