Hoping that these name brand cutters are superior to the generic cutters
Since these cutters are now made by Remington, I hope that they will not break as easily as the generic ones used to.

So, who is Aslan? A former Archbishop explores the possibilities!
I defy anyone to read a book written by the 104th Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams (now Baron Williams of Oystermouth, and Master of Magdalene College at Cambridge University), and inform me that it was an "easy read."
In 2011, while struggling to read Williams' "Anglican Identities" (2004, Darton, Longman and Todd Ltd.), I literally had to keep a jar of chocolate on the the other side of the room, as delayed gratification after reading a certain number of pages in that book. Another friend, however, found "Anglican Identities" as a "pushover." However, this friend also earned a doctorate in English Literature, and wrote her dissertation on the poetry of George Herbert (3 April 1593 – 1 March 1633); another author with whom I struggle!
By comparison, I found "The Lion's World" (2012, SPCK), far more approachable. There is an assumption, however, that the reader has not only read the entire C. S. Lewis' opus "The Chronicle of Narnia" (1950-1956), but also read some of his other works: "The Great Divorce" (1945), "Surprised by Joy" (1955), "The Screwtape Letters" (1942), and the "Space" or "Cosmic Trilogy" - "Out of the Silent Planet" (1938), "Perelandra" (1943), and "That Hideous Strength" (1945).
In "The Lion's World," Williams is also generous in citing many C. S. Lewis scholars and weigh their varying views through a discussion of the God/Aslan/Lion character in C. S. Lewis' Chronicle of Narnia. In this book, Williams also cites Philip Pullman's "The Darkside of Narnia" (The Guardian, 1 October 1998), and tackles the issues raised by this Lewis critic.
Since my childhood, I have heard many amateur interpretations of the symbolisms found in the Chronicle of Narnia. Often, however, I had to wonder how many of these "born again soothsayers" have, in fact, read more than "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" and "Prince Caspian."
As a middle aged man, it is therefore refreshing to read a thorough analysis of a theme raised in the Chronicle of Narnia (i.e. God/Aslan/Lion), by a noted Christian scholar (prior to an active parochial and diocesan ministry, Williams was the Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity at Oxford University) against the context of other modern day scholars and critics.
Williams does remind his readers, however, not to read C. S. Lewis in a void. After all, Lewis was a Fellow and Tutor in English Literature at Magdalen College, Oxford University, and then the Chair of Mediaeval and Renaissance Literature at Magdalene College, Cambridge University.
In his day, it was said that Lewis had read every book ever published in English. Williams rightly paints the context of Lewis' God/Aslan/Lion within the theology and scholarship of those who, among others, helped shape Lewis' beliefs: Thomas Merton, St. Augustine of Hippo, and William Shakespeare.
I commend this book to those who are willing to be receptive to "reading more" after "The Lion's World." In many ways, this book is a "key" which opens the reader into wanting to explore more about the nature of God's love and redemption. I commend this book to your reading.
In recent days, a constant thought kept recurring: wouldn't it be "totally awesome" if Rowan Williams (already mentioned, a former Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity at Oxford University) and Pope Benedict XVI, the Pope emeritus (a former Chair in Dogmatic Theology at the University of Tübingen), got together to co-write a book? Someone should start a petition!
