The Ransom Trilogy

Book • 2021

The trilogy consists of 'Out of the Silent Planet', 'Perelandra', and 'That Hideous Strength'.

evil, free will, and the cosmic hierarchy, drawing parallels with biblical narratives and classical mythology.

The series delves into spiritual warfare, the nature of sin, and the struggle between personal ambition and moral integrity.
