C. S. Lewis is generally regarded as the foremost Christian thinker and writer of the 20th century. A first-rate scholar, philosopher, apologist, theologian, literary critic, science fiction writer, poet, and author of children's fantasy novels, he wrote with charm, wit, insight, and occasional eloquence.Lewis was neither a professional philosopher, theologian, Bible scholar, historian, psychologist, nor a social scientist, but he thought and wrote perceptively on all these subjects. A rarity among intellectuals, he integrated both reason and imagination into his life and works. Lewis understood that unless conditioned by humility and Christian discipline, reason tends to solidify into sterile Rationalism while imagination tends to drift toward idealistic Romanticism. Therefore, Christian maturity necessitates a thoughtful and faithful integration of both mind and heart.Although Lewis' writings on political philosophy are often overlooked, in fact he was in fact as acute and perceptive in this vital area of life as in other aspects of Christian discipleship. Lewis understood that Christianity is more than a religion and more than personal piety. As a life-transforming relationship with God via faith in Jesus Christ, Christian faith is a lifestyle and a comprehensive worldview that should encompass all the pertinent issues of life - including one's social and political values and beliefs.Lewis' views on political philosophy are as relevant today as when he wrote them, and all Christians who take wholistic discipleship and their citizenship responsibilities seriously will benefit from his insights and wisdom

Critical race theory is a derivative of critical theory, a neo-Marxist ideology developed in the 1920s and '30s that launched a systemic and comprehensive assault on the philosophical, moral, religious and institutional foundations of Western civilization. The strategic goal of critical theory was "cultural hegemony" - a relentless campaign to seize the "commanding heights" of the culture in Europe and America. Critical race theory is the antithesis of the mainstream Civil Rights Movement of the mid-20th century in which the stated principle was that people should be judged as individuals on the basis of the "content of their character" rather than the color of their skin. In contrast, CRT is obsessed with defining and judging people primarily (or exclusively) on the basis of their race. In that respect, it could more accurately be labeled "critical racist theory" as it constitutes the most perverse obsession with race and identity politics since the dominance of the Ku Klux Klan in the American South or the triumph of Nazism in Germany.
