"What is man?" "What is the purpose of this life on earth?" Philosophers have listed these as two of the most important questions that must be asked by everyone in the quest to become a complete human being. In Mere Humanity, poet, scholar, and teacher Donald T. Williams digs into the treasured writings of G.K. Chesterton, C.S. Lewis, and J.R.R. Tolkien in search of those answers regarding the human condition. "The study of literature is essential to a full and rich life, particularly a full and rich Christian life," Williams writes. "Literature enlarges our world of experience to include both more of the physical world and things not yet imagined, giving the actual world a new dimension of depth." - Back cover.
