Has LifeWay eliminated all C.S. Lewis lit??

In light of the recent webpage accusing Lewis of being a Taoist and questioning whether he was ever really a Christian (a silly accusation to begin with, if you believe in that Perseverence thing...), I thought I'd ask the only people who might know: Has LifeWay rid itself of all of Lewis's writings?! Why?!

I went to a LifeWay here in town, and discovered that they had nary a Lewis book. I went to the LifeWay.com website, and found none. Then, I discovered that LifeWay's storefront is at Lifewaystores.com, and they indeed have plenty of Lewis material. It's just that none of it is in-house publishing.

False alarm.

This is an OLD accusation, if I remember correctly. I think he tackles the subject of Taoism in one of his books... The Abolition Of Man, maybe.

In His love,

I was the one who started a thread about the website, and by no means took the charges against Lewis seriously. Anyone who believes that Lewis was advocating the use of drugs through his reference to Turkish delights in the Chronicles of Narnia is not looking at evidence objectively.

When I worked at LifeWay, we never had much of Lewis, but it was because Nashville was simply too incompetent to order enough for us, not because they were banning his books.

lifeway.com is not a bookstore website; LifeWay does other things besides being a bookstore.

Grace & Peace

Yeah, I realize now that I didn't know what I was talking about. Sorry.
