Dr. Michael Ward is Senior Research Fellow at Blackfriars Hall in the University of Oxford, and Professor of Apologetics at Houston Baptist University, Texas. He is the author of Planet Narnia: The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C.S. Lewis (OUP, 2008), and co-editor of The Cambridge Companion to C.S. Lewis (CUP, 2010). He presented the BBC television documentary, The Narnia Code (2009).
Dr Ward was the lead organiser of the memorial to C.S. Lewis in Poets' Corner, Westminster Abbey (2013) and of the Addison's Walk plaque at Magdalen College, Oxford (1998). He was Resident Warden of The Kilns, Lewis's Oxford home, from 1996-1999. He studied English at Oxford, Theology at Cambridge, and has a PhD in Divinity from St Andrews.
He lectures widely on Lewis and the Inklings, including at the Library of Congress, Washington D.C., the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, and at places as far afield as South Korea, Sweden, Finland, and Canada.
Michael's chief claim to fame, however, is that he handed a pair of X-ray spectacles to James Bond in the movie The World Is Not Enough.
