Surprised by Oxford
Surprised by Oxford is most appropriate for young, older adults. As an initial agnostic at Oxford, Carolyn learned that faith and intellect are not antitehtical. God pursued her as He had C. S. Lewis. As she resisted faith, finding it an inconvenient impediment, she, like C. S. Lewis, was a most reluctant convert. Like Lewis, she found that real life and God were in paradoxes. She learned that paradoxes are only seeming contradictions. She found that faith and intellect can coexist richly.
