New and Notable:
“C. S. Lewis: A Life: Eccentric Genius, Reluctant Prophet” by Alister McGrath (Tyndale House, $24.99) — McGrath, one of the most respected Anglican theologians writing today, turns his attention to the endlessly fascinating figure of C.S. Lewis. Lewis predicted that he would be forgotten within five years of his death in 1963. This biography joins a half dozen others over the past fifty years, and is proof of how wrong even a wise man can be.
“Ireland’s Saint: The Essential Biography of St. Patrick” by J.B. Bury, edited and annotated by Jon Sweeney (Paraclete Press, $9.99) — ‘Tis the season. The author, a giant among historians of ancient Greece and Rome, also wrote a definitive biography of St Patrick. Jon Sweeney has helpfully streamlined the massive original work to create this new version for a new and wider readership.
