S. 565 Lewis and Friends David and Ruth Neuhouser with Edwin and Pat Brown Foreword by Joe Ricke, Director of the Center for the Study of C. S. Lewis and Friends Preparing for the 10th Biennial C. S. Lewis and Friends Colloquium at Taylor University, we couldn’t help but think of the year 1997 when, under the leadership of Dr. David L. Neuhouser, and with the help of a generous anonymous donor, the outstanding book collection of Dr. Edwin W. Brown came to be housed at Taylor. Later that summer, Dr. Neuhouser was out beating the bushes, promoting both the collection and the first-ever colloquium to be held in November of that year. A substantial part of that story is told in our new book, Exploring the Eternal Goodness: Selected Writings of David L. Neuhouser, especially in the introduction, in the long interview with David, and in the many tributes included in the book. This book, too, tells an important part of that story. For this volume, containing a good number of the eighty-plus essays and creative pieces presented at the 2016 Frances Ewbank Colloquium, suggests that the vision of Neuhouser and Brown is not only ongoing but, if anything, growing. Here, in the middle of the cornfields of Indiana, a fellowship and a friendship began that continues to make a difference in this university, in the long-time friends of the Lewis Center and the Brown Collection, and, perhaps more than ever, in the community of Inklings scholars and fans around the world.
