Your are generally a very clear and to the point writer, but I think this into doesn't begin that way. <br /><br />That first sentence seems long and awkward to me...not inviting. If you could start with "I am not writing a biography of Lewis."...then wind around to what you intend I think it would be better. Below is how I might tweek it, just for an example...to get around that opening sentence.<br /><br />"I am not writing a biography of Lewis. There are plenty of those, and I have a different question in mind. In an introduction of his own, Lewis demonstrated clarity of purpose and what delineated his work from others. In his introduction to Reflections on the Psalms he wrote, it was “not a work of scholarship. I am no Hebraist, no higher critic, no ancient historian, no archaeologist.”[1]. Lewis was always clear—and similarly, I want to be clear.<br /><br />I am not writing a biography of Lewis. Instead of answering who he was, I will take up a version of the question of why Lewis is still so popular,.."<br /><br />Bill JacksonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
