Dr Bex Lewis and Dr Rowan Williams
Narnia, Luke's Gospel and the thoughts of the recently-retired Archbishop of Canterbury are all on the menu for an innovative online discussion among Christians across Britain during Lent. The Big Read, organised by Durham University as part of The Big Bible Project, aims to bring together Christians - from all churches and none - to study the Bible, alongside contemporary texts for discussion. This year the Big Read is focusing on Rowan Williams' latest book, The Lion's World , which explores C S Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia. He explores the moral landscape of all seven novels in the series, and the powerful spiritual insights they contain. Williams, who stood down as Archbishop of Canterbury at the end of last year, has also provided video content as part of the Big Read project. In earlier years, The Big Read - which started in the North East of England in 2010 - has looked at the Lent For Everyone series by the former Bishop of Durham, Tom Wright. The campaign went national in 2011 and is attracting a growing social media following, using blogs, Facebook and Twitter (this year's Twitter hashtag is #BigRead13).
