A respected philosopher, jurist, and student of the nature of language and human consciousness, OWEN BARFIELD's many books published by Wesleyan include Saving the Appearances (1988), Poetic Diction (1984), and Worlds Apart (1971). He lived in East Sussex, England, at the time of his death in 1997 at the age of 99.
"This is a book of very high distinction. It is basic, profound,
original, and difficult. Time may seal it as a masterpiece...It
contains an entirely original approach to Christian perplexities,
and it refounds Christian hope on a new and sound base. It is a
great book, and it takes one into new worlds of
opportunity."--Church Times
"We are well supplied with interesting writers, but Owen Barfield
is not content to be merely interesting. His ambition is to set us
free from the prison we have made for ourselves by our ways of
knowing, our limited and false habits of thought, our 'common
sense'"--Saul Bellow
