Narnian Virtues

In this engaging and practical book Mark Pike and Thomas Lickona show how C.S. Lewis¿ wisdom for nurturing good character, and his much-loved Chronicles of Narnia, inspire us to virtue. Drawing upon the Judeo-Christian virtues of faith, hope and love and ¿Narnian¿ virtues such as courage, integrity and wisdom, they present an approach to contemporary character education validated by recent research. An introduction to C. S. Lewis¿ thought on character and faith is followed by practical examples of how to use well-known passages from the Narnia novels as a stimulus for rich character development at home and in the classroom.
