Let me not fail to stress the strengths of Root's book, among which is the comprehensive knowledge displayed, not merely of the work of Lewis himself, but also of the secondary literature that has flourished around that work. [...] help us to look at the various symbols, stories, and arguments presented in Lewis's body of work and also to step into the beam of that work and look along it, gaining and understanding of Lewis's fertile spiritual vision from the inside.
