Review
This book is doubly intriguing, both as a fresh and illuminating piece of Lewis scholarship, and as an exploration of philosophical issues that are deeply interesting in their own right, such as the relationship between pleasure and true happiness. Goetz makes a convincing case that Lewis retained his Protestant identity not only for reasons typically cited, but also because of fundamental differences with Rome that were philosophical in nature. Anyone interested in these issues will find this volume fascinating as well as informative. Jerry L. Walls, Scholar in Residence and Professor of Philosophy, Houston Baptist University, USA An informative argument to the effect that Lewis's views of happiness (Hedonism) and the self (Substance Dualism) were the primary intellectual barriers to him becoming a Roman Catholic--anyone with an interest in Lewis as a philosopher/theologian will find much here that is both pleasurable and good for the soul. T.J. Mawson, Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy, St. Peter's College, University of Oxford, UK
