The Myth That Saves
C. S. Lewis & the Doctrine of Theosis
by W. E. Knickerbocker

"Here we do not concede one square millimeter of territory to falsehood, folly, contemporary sentimentality, or fashion. We speak the truth, and let God be our judge. . . . Touchstone is the one committedly Christian conservative journal."
