Fern-Seed and Elephants

y otros ensayos sobre cristianismo

C. S. Lewis

Acerca del libro

En 1959, C. S. Lewis dictó una conferencia a los estudiantes de Cambridge en la que atacaba teólogos que “afirman que ven las semillas de helecho y no pueden ver un elefante a diez metros a plena luz del día”, por lo tanto el título Esporas de helecho y elefantes.

Estos siete ensayos muestran a Lewis en su momento más pletórico, defendiendo con su inigualable prosa su visión de un cristianismo ortodoxo y auténtico. Entre los temas que aborda están la diferencia entre perdonar y excusar, la “membresía” del individuo en el Cuerpo de Cristo, “La última noche del mundo” y las implicaciones de que hubiera vida en otros planetas.

Fern-Seed and Elephants

In I959, CS. Lewis read a paper to students at Cambridge attacking theologians who “claim to see fern-seed and can’t see an elephant ten yards away in broad daylight” therefore the title Fern-Seed and Elephants. 

These seven essays show Lewis at his most vigorous, defending his vision of a full-blooded, orthodox Christianity in his matchless prose style. Among the subjects he addresses are the difference between forgiveness and excusing, the individual “member” of the Christian Body, “The World’s Last Night”, and the implications of there being life on other planets.

C. S. Lewis

Biography

Clive Staples Lewis was born in 1898. Known as “Jack” by his friends, Lewis and his good friend J.R.R. Tolkien, the author of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, were part of a writer’s club, The Inklings, who would meet at the local pub to discuss story ideas. Lewis’s fascination with fairytales, myths, and ancient legends coupled with inspiration drawn from his childhood led him to write The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, one of the best-loved books of all time. Six further books in the immensely popular Chronicles of Narnia followed, and the final title, The Last Battle, received the Carnegie Award, one of the highest marks of excellence in children’s literature.
