The Feeling Intellect

"Newell invites us on a journey into the unknown in the presence of two trusted companions, the Bible and C. S. Lewis, through paths familiar and yet new, encountering questions familiar in form, yet new in context and making discoveries which challenge us as Christians to explore more deeply and more intimately the familiar pages of Scripture. Newell invites us to do, what sometimes we fail to do, namely to read Scripture--to really read it with both mind and heart."

"The book you have in your hands is the fruit of decades of immersion in reading the BOOK and allowing the BOOK to read its author, my dear friend, Roger Newell. If ever there were a feeling intellect, it is Dr. Newell's. His resonance with the thought and heart of C. S. Lewis amazes me."

"It has been a privilege to read The Feeling Intellect. As a fan of Roger Newell's previous book, I had high hopes for this one and was not disappointed. Taking crucial scriptural passages and using the writings of Lewis as a resource in theological reflection is a wonderful idea and bears useful fruit. We are challenged to be truly open to the scriptural text and to hear God's words to us all over again. Roger has a rare gift of combining the intellect, the emotions, the spirit, and the imagination, much as Lewis himself!"
