I have been so accustomed to “looking at” things that now I am seeking to recover the skill of “looking along” things—including nature and the Scriptures.Stan Bohall's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749081016685047175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659952048020249945.post-50954834528818064962011-07-16T07:43:38.111-04:002011-07-16T07:43:38.111-04:00I haven't finished Barrett's article, but ...I haven't finished Barrett's article, but he seems charitable and he does find evidence to support Ward's thesis in (I think) four of the books. In reading Lewis and Dante I'm struck by how we've lost a classical consciousness and in doing so miss a rich texture in life. It is the difference between living life with 3-D glasses and seeing life in 2 dimensions.Bob - Mind on Firehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13018004821460668489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659952048020249945.post-88054718361595609442011-07-11T07:05:26.254-04:002011-07-11T07:05:26.254-04:00Thanks for reading and commenting on the review of...Thanks for reading and commenting on the review of The Narnia Code. Yes, I have read Barrett's article--based on your suggestion a few weeks ago. I urged a friend, an economics professor and the co-founder of the C.S. Lewis Society of Central Massachusetts, to read it too. At first Barret's article prompted me to doubt Ward's thesis. My friend says that "the numbers" on the thesis are really quite good. Knowing how to interpret the results makes all the difference, I guess.Stan Bohall's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749081016685047175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659952048020249945.post-37624814502548601752011-07-10T08:36:21.376-04:002011-07-10T08:36:21.376-04:00Thanks Stan - good review!

The Article is titled, Some Planets in Narnia: A Quantitative Investigation of the Planet Narnia Thesis, and can be read or downloaded at the Wade Center website. Blessings!
