The Abolition of Man is a masterful commentary on objective truth and the dangers of relativism by the British scholar and apologist, C. S. Lewis. Composed in the middle of a world wracked by war and threatened by totalitarianism during the mid-twentieth century, Lewis warned against the ideologies leading to destruction which he saw creeping into his own society.
Lewis' warnings are particularly salient today. This collection of essays explores the truth Lewis offers and its applications in the current day.

About the authors

She consumes copious amounts of time (and coffee!) shuttling her teenagers to and fro, rescuing her cats from impending peril, and writing for An Unexpected Journal. She currently teaches the most amazing third graders at a classical Christian school in Fort Worth.
Carla Alvarez is a mother to three and a graduate of HBU's Masters in Apologetics program. Her philosophy in both business and apologetics is if what we think affects what we do, then the "how" is just as important as the "what." As actions have a lasting impact, it is of utmost importance to develop right thoughts. She creates effective communications for clients at Legacy Marketing Services (www.legacymarketingservices.com) and writes about the Christian faith at RaisedtoWalk.org (www.raisedtowalk.org).
Annie Crawford is a cultural apologist, classical educator, and homeschooling mom whose passion is to help others see that all truth is God’s truth.

Her Facebook sites Literary Life and Literary Life Book of the Month feature reviews on classical and recent books with a focus on the enduring beauty and truth found in literature and art. She wrote an historical cookbook for Bright Ideas Press. Her sincere belief is in the significance and reintegration of the arts and humanities with theology and the Christian imagination. She homeschooled her three kids for twenty-five years and teaches art, creative writing, and humanities. Annie resides with her Middle Earth/Narnia/Hogwarts-loving family, piles of books, and a large assemblage of cats.
