Available from HarperOne, now the exclusive publisher of all of C. S. Lewis's adult religious books, a repackaged edition of the revered author's classic work that examines the four types of human love: affection, friendship, erotic love, and the love of God — part of the C. S. Lewis Signature Classics series

C.S. Lewis — the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and bestselling author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics — contemplates the essence of love and how it works in our daily lives in one of his most famous works of nonfiction. Lewis examines four varieties of human love: affection, the most basic form; friendship, the rarest and perhaps most insightful; Eros, passionate love; charity, the greatest and least selfish. Throughout this compassionate and reasoned study, he encourages readers to open themselves to all forms of love — the key to understanding that brings us closer to God.

Lewis (1898-1963) died on the same day as the assassination of United States President John F. Kennedy, Nov. 22, 1963. Clive Staples Lewis was born in Belfast, Ireland, on Nov. 29, 1898. He was educated by private tutor and then at Malvern College in England for a year before attending University College, Oxford, in 1916. His education was interrupted by service in World War I. In 1918, he returned to Oxford where he did outstanding work as a classical scholar. He taught at Magdalen College, Oxford, from 1925 to 1954 and from 1954 until his death in Oxford. He was professor of medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University in Cambridge. He was highly respected in his field of study, as a both teacher and writer. His book The Allegory of Love: a Study in Medieval Tradition, published in 1936, is considered by many to be his best work.

Lewis is most known for his attempt at formulating a core of Christian understanding. Lewis wrote a number of highly readable books intelligent, imaginative, and often witty. Among these were: The Pilgrim's Regress, published in 1933, The Problem of Pain (1940), Miracles (1947), and The Screwtape Letters (1942), probably his most popular work. He also wrote a trilogy of religious science fiction novels: Out of the Silent Planet (1938), Perelandra (1943), and That Hideous Strength (1945). For children he wrote a series of seven allegorical tales, beginning with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe in 1950. His autobiography, Surprised by Joy, was published in 1955.","createdAt":"2015-02-23T22:42:31.260-07:00","updatedAt":"2023-03-17T02:01:28.871-06:00","metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"","metaKeywords":"","depth":1,"producer":true,"searchable":true,"popularity":5,"icon":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/db-paperclip/app/public/spree/taxons/default_taxon.png"}],"productProperties":[{"id":7048,"productId":129881,"propertyId":103,"value":"5.3 x 8","propertyName":"Size"},{"id":7049,"productId":129881,"propertyId":106,"value":"9780062565396","propertyName":"ISBN"},{"id":7050,"productId":129881,"propertyId":107,"value":"HarperCollins (2017)","propertyName":"Publisher"}]}}
