description: This book, examining religion &amp; fantasy in the fiction of C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams &amp; J.R.R. Tolkien looks at how the fantasies those authors created are related, on the one hand to religious belief &amp; on the other to the cultural situation in which we live. The worlds of Perelandra &amp; Middle-earth have been explored by thousands who have not only been entertained but also caught up into a realm that seems to transcend everyday experience.Religion &amp; Other DisciplinesAcknowledgmentsIntroductionFantasy &amp; the metaphysics of faith/ C.S.
