One of C. S. LewisÕ works of fiction, or more specifically allegory, this book is clearly modelled upon BunyanÕs PilgrimÕs Progress, as Lewis cleverly satirizes different sections of the Church. Written within a year of LewisÕ conversion, it characterises the various theological and temperamental leanings of the time. This brilliant and biting allegory has lost none of its freshness and theological profundity, as the pilgrims pass the City of Claptrap, the tableland of the High Anglicans and the far-off marsh of the Theosophists. As ever, Lewis says memorably in brief what would otherwise have demanded a full-length philosophy of religion.
