God in the Dock is a collection of essays and speeches from C. S. Lewis. Its title implies "God on Trial" for those unfamiliar with the British phrase "in the dock" (defendants are placed in a "dock" - a half height open topped box), and is based on an analogy made by Lewis suggesting that modern human beings, rather than seeing themselves as standing before God in judgment, prefer to place God on trial while acting as his judge.

The collection covers a wide range of topics, but focuses primarily on Lewis' view of Christianity.

Despite his intellect (or maybe because of it; realizing that the common man needed such things), Lewis' arguments are really aimed at the understanding of the common man, rather than the over-educated theologian.
