Saint Clive: A Spiritual Life of C. S. Lewis

By Jon Kennedy

Saint Clive is a spiritual biography of C.S. Lewis and an exploration of his eligibility for sainthood in the traditional Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox criteria for determining such qualification. The 205-page speculative work is profusely referenced, includes a half dozen photographs of sites relating to Lewis, and has a thorough subject index. The author, a journalist-scholar and Orthodox Christian, has written two other books on Lewis as well as others on journalism and on the ministry of Jesus Christ. Chapters deal with the definition and biblical roots of sainthood; how Lewis's "mere Christianity" approach affected his sanctification; his years as an unbeliever and professed atheist; his radical conversion; his evangelistic outreaches; how his Christianity affected his creative writing; how paganism influenced him and his work; his understanding of sanctification; how his conversion affected his work as Oxford don and author; who would consider him worthy of sainthood; who would consider him unworthy, and why; the miracles in his life; and the manner in which he faced his own death.
