The following serves as an OVERVIEW for a new series that will like have new posts EACH week. As you might guess from the title, the focus is on exploring questionable quotations attributed to C.S. Lewis. While I’ve written and spoken on the topic previously, this will be the “go to” page to find out whether or not a quote claiming to be from Lewis is actually by him. 

This page serves as the “table of contents” to quickly find a quote that either has, or will be examined. So, below are the links to the actual articles. If there is no link yet then that means the article hasn’t been released yet.
