Showing results for "The Silent" in Classics & Allegories

C.S. Lewis’s allegorical sci-fi trilogy about a philology professor’s adventures on Mars, Venus and Earth Featuring a reluctant hero’s extraordinary journey through the cosmos, C. S. Lewis’s classic trilogy contains all the magic, invention, humour and big ideas of his Narnia novels...

The classic hero’s journey is shaped like a checkmark - medium to low and high at the end. Stories in this third volume of four in Jesus’ Silent Years are at the bottom of the checkmark. These low points are the furnace that shaped his character more than any of the other books in this novel series. Spoiler alert - Jesus is imprisoned, abused by willful excess and absence, and depressed. This Son of Man is tempted and tried in all points, as we are. Embedded in these old stories is a training manual for how to live wisely in today’s world regardless of your faith, or lack of it.
