What Is Gleanings?

At Christianity Today, we’re constantly tracking important developments in the church and the world. Often we use our network of reporters around the world (and for that, visit our main site). But we also monitor other news outlets, bloggers, newsmakers’ social media feeds, and countless other information streams. Gleanings compiles the most urgent and interesting items we’ve found, explains why you need to know about them, and gives you the background you need to understand them. It’s our snapshot of what God is doing in the world, hour by hour.

The List: LewisWatch

The favorite C. S. Lewis websites of Louis Markos.

The favorite C. S. Lewis websites of Louis Markos, author of The Life and Writings of C. S. Lewis, Lewis Agonistes, and, most recently, From Achilles to Christ: Why Christians Should Read the Pagan Classics (InterVarsity Press).

The C. S. Lewis Foundation
The foundation exists to promote the works of C. S. Lewis to the larger public and in the halls of academia. In addition to offering information on the many conferences sponsored by the foundation, this website provides a full list of books by and about Lewis, along with links to all the major Lewis websites.

Into the Wardrobe
Perhaps the best one-stop educational site for information on C. S. Lewis. It not only includes an annotated bibliography but also pictures, audio files, forums, and the full text of several dozen scholarly papers.


C. S. Lewis Society of California

There are many C. S. Lewis societies out there, most of which have good websites. This one offers the fullest and most varied resources, including links to interviews and audio/video resources.

Marion E. Wade Center
The best research museum of C. S. Lewis is housed not in England but at Wheaton College, Illinois. The center also features the books and papers of six writers who profoundly influenced Lewis: Owen Barfield, G. K. Chesterton, George MacDonald, Dorothy L. Sayers, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams.

Narnia Web
With the film versions of Prince Caspian and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader due out in May 2008 and May 2010, respectively, this is the single best news source on present and future Narnia movies.

Dr Ronald W Bresland has a website on C S Lewis's origins in and connections with Ireland. It's at www.cslewisinireland.com. A review of his Travel With C S Lewis is on www.trinity.ie.

I'll look forward to browsing some of these Lewis sites. I have my own tribute to C.S. Lewis, in the form of "The Squirmtail E-mails," here.
