Book Review/Summary - Not a Tame God: Christ in the Writings of C.S. Lewis (Steven P. Mueller)



Steven Mueller does a very thorough job of going through all of the C.S. Lewis' writings and examining his discussion and view of Christ and Christology. Overall the book is a little tedious and dry to read straight through, but it does have a ton of information. There are some inconsistencies that are pointed out, such as when Lewis many times claims to not like different theories of the atonement, but then uses them and even comes up with own. There are also times when Lewis' language is imprecise and misread as unorthodox, but this book gives a great view of Lewis' view of Christology, which is orthodox.

I personally found it more enjoyable to skip through reading about the books I am interested in. I think that it would be fun to read the individual sections before re-reading his books.
