Opis

Lewis and the Craft of Communication uses Lewis's own words to unlock the secrets that explain Lewis's success as a communicator so that you, too, can communicate like C. S. Lewis.

Recenzje

"C. S. Lewis understood the theory and practice of the medieval trivium (grammar, dialectic, rhetoric) better than anyone in his generation, but far too little attention has been given to his extraordinary skill as a communicator. Steven A. Beebe brings to this gap in scholarship his own formidable experience and expertise as a professor of communication, and also a keen personal enthusiasm. The result is a thoughtful, insightful, delightful book that informs, instructs and illuminates."-Michael Ward, Senior Research Fellow, University of Oxford, co-editor of The Cambridge Companion to C. S. Lewis, and author of Planet Narnia and The Narnia Code
