The weight of Glory

The Weight of Glory by C.S. Lewis, the most important Christian writer of the 20th century. Selected from sermons preached by C.S. Lewis during World War II, these nine sermons show the beloved author and theologian bringing hope and courage in times of great doubt and offer guidance, inspiration, and compassionate tolerance for the Christian faith during a time of great doubt.

The Weight of Glory, considered by many to be the best of all Lewis’s sermons, is an incomparable explanation of virtue, goodness, desire, and glory. Also included are Transposition, On Forgiveness, Why I Am Not a Pacifist, and Learning in Wartime, in which Lewis presents his compassionate vision of Christianity in language that is both lucid and compelling.

"Lewis, perhaps more than any other 20th-century writer, made those who heard him and read his works contend with their philosophical presuppositions." Los Angeles Times
