Produktbeschreibung
C. S. Lewis, based on the popularity of his books and essays, is one of the best communicators of the twentieth century. During his lifetime he was hailed for his talents as author, speaker, educator, and broadcaster; he continues to be a best-selling author more than a half-century after his death.

C. S. Lewis and the Craft of Communication analyzes Lewis's communication skill. A comprehensive review of Lewis's work reveals five communication principles that explain his success as a communicator. Based on Lewis's own advice about communication in his books, essays, and letters, as well as his communication practice, being a skilled communicator is to be holistic, intentional, transpositional, evocative, and audience-centered. These five principles are memorably summarized by the acronym HI TEA. Dr. Steven Beebe, past president of the National Communication Association and an internationally-recognized communication author and educator, uses Lewis's own words to examine these five principles in a most engaging style.

Rezensionen
"Who better to write the book on C. S. Lewis and the craft of communication than one of the foremost professors of communication in the world-Steven A. Beebe, who also happens to be a Lewis enthusiast? This book is a must-read for all who study the craft of communication, for all communicators who want to improve their art-form, and for all lovers of C. S. Lewis and his work. Even the latter are bound to learn something new from this book, since it is brimming over with insightful analysis. Beebe writes in a style as clear as water from a fresh, mountain spring, in a manner as engaging as a man on his knees with a ring in his hand, occasionally with a gentle humor befitting a Garrison Keillor, and always with the academic finesse of a bookworm in the bowels of the Bodleian Library. Bravo!"-Will Vaus, author of Mere Theology: A Guide to the Thought of C. S. Lewis
"C. S. Lewis understood the theory and practice of the medieval trivium (grammar, dialectic, rhetoric) better than anyone in his generation, but far too little attention has been given to his extraordinary skill as a communicator. Steven A. Beebe brings to this gap in scholarship his own formidable experience and expertise as a professor of communication, and also a keen personal enthusiasm. The result is a thoughtful, insightful, delightful book that informs, instructs and illuminates."-Michael Ward, Senior Research Fellow, University of Oxford, co-editor of The Cambridge Companion to C. S. Lewis, and author of Planet Narnia and The Narnia Code
