Unbound Book Review: Leslie Baynes, "Between Interpretation and Imagination: C. S. Lewis and the Bible"

CBA Welcomes an Unbound Book Review of Leslie Baynes'

Between Interpretation and Imagination:
C. S. Lewis and the Bible

A part of CBA's series of free virtual events which draw together scholars from diverse fields to discuss a recent publication through reflection on specific questions.

In this Unbound Book Review, we will gather to reflect on the following questions:

1) How does Lewis’s literary imagination challenge or enrich our approaches to studying the Bible? 

2) How might Lewis’s sensitivity to genre, narrative, and myth-making shape his understanding of the biblical canon?

3) How might Baynes' analysis prompt conversations about the boundaries between academic criticism, devotional reading, and public theological discourse? 

After a brief introduction from Baynes, we will welcome reflections from Jason Staples and Robert Foster.
