In this engaging fictional conversation|Peter Kreeft gives credible voices to C. S. Lewis|J. R. R. Tolkien|and Billy Graham as they discuss one of the most contentious questions in the history of Christianity: Is Jesus symbolically or substantially present in the Eucharist?
These widely respected modern Christian witnesses represent three important Western theological traditions. Graham|an ordained Southern Baptist minister who traversed the world and the airwaves to spread the good news of salvation|represents evangelical Protestantism. Lewis|an Oxford professor|a prolific Christian apologist|and the author of The Chronicles of Narnia|was a member of the Church of England. Also an Oxford don|Tolkien was a friend of Lewis|the author of The Lord of the Rings|and a Roman Catholic.
While Lewis and Tolkien likely discussed the Eucharist during their long friendship|the conversation in this book never took place—but it could have|says Kreeft|who faithfully presents the views of these three impressive men.
