Series editors Prof. Brian Attebery<\/a>, Dr Dimitra Fimi<\/a>, and Dr Matthew Sangster<\/a> will begin the evening by introducing the new series and its aims. Dr Driggers will then introduce his book, which explores works by C.S. Lewis, Ursula K.

He will then be joined by Anglia Ruskin University postgraduate researcher Meg MacDonald for a conversation about fantasy\u2019s affordances for theology, and how their respective research projects respond to existing scholarship in fantasy, theology, and religious studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
