  • SHADOWLANDS Introduction
    SHADOWLANDS Introduction ‘Shadowlands’ tells of the extraordinary love between C. S. Lewis, the famous writer and Christian academic and Joy Gresham, an American poet who came to know him first through his writing. She was to die shortly after their marriage. ‘Shadowlands’ was first a television and then a stage play and is now a film starring Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger. This guide is for use before and after a viewing of Richard Attenborough’s film. It seeks to expand for class work the themes of love and bereavement, the risks of emotional involvement and the challenge to all faiths of pain and tragedy as well as discussing the way film tackles these difficult subjects. JACK AND JOY Olive Staples Lewis - known always as Jack - was born in 1898 in Belfast three years after the Lewis’s first son, Warren or “Warnie”. The brothers were very close, and spent much of their adult bachelor life living together near Oxford in a ramshackle house, The Kilns, known to their friends as The Midden (Old English for dung heap). What impressions do we first receive of the brothers? How does the film express briefly a little of their life “before” Joy? What do we learn during the course of the film of C. S. Lewis’s world? Apart from Joy, what other women do we “meet” in ‘Shadowlands’? How are they represented? Find out a little about Britain in the 1950s. Who was Prime Minister? When did rationing end? Why was Princess Margaret known as the “heartbreak princess”? As well as picture and library research, ask those who were alive at the time.

  • The Grand Miracle Daily Reflections for the Season of Advent
    The Grand Miracle Daily reflections for the season of advent Based on the writings of C. S. Lewis ✷ J. R. R. Tolkien ✷ Dorothy L. Sayers George MacDonald ✷ G. K. Chesterton Charles Williams ✷ Owen Barfield ✷ Joy Davidman snowy landscape. A beaming lamppost. A world where it is always winter and never Christmas. The opening scenes of C. S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch, Aand the Wardrobe set the stage, and readers young and old await Aslan’s return to Narnia, bringing with him the joy of Christmas. While Lewis doesn’t mention the birth of Christ specifically, he writes out of a deep sense of wonder and joy at the Incarnation as a world-transforming event: the Word becoming flesh (John 1:18). In one famous essay Lewis called it “The Grand Miracle.” You may be entering this Advent season with a sense of inadequacy. Perhaps your life is filled with great difficulty, the deep grief of loss, discouragement, finan- cial concerns, addiction, depression, or even a sense that God is far from you. The good news is that you are actually in a wonderful place to begin a meaning- ful Advent journey. For this season isn’t about what we must accomplish, but rather about what God has already done in the miracle of the Incarnation. In fact all we need to do is invite God into the authentic reality of our messy, broken, complicated Front cover by Douglas Johnson based on Edward Burne-Jones’s The Adoration (1904) lives—to be transparently present to him in the midst of our weakness.

  • An Introduction to C. S. Lewis
    An Introduction to C. S. Lewis Clive Staples Lewis—C. S. Lewis to many readers—was born in Belfast, Ireland, on November 29, 1898. His parents were Albert James Lewis, a solicitor, and Florence Augusta Lewis. Lewis had one brother, Warren Hamilton Lewis, with whom he remained close for all of his life. Lewis read widely as a child, but dearly enjoyed stories about animals and nature, a theme which resurfaced in his later work The Chronicles of Narnia. Lewis and his brother Warren even created an imaginary world called Boxen in which animals lived and talked together. Coupled with Lewis’ love of creating worlds filled with anthropomorphic animals and lively natural settings was his love for ancient literature, including the epic sagas of Iceland, Norse mythology, and Greek and Medieval literature. Readers familiar with his work will recognize how these these genres and themes influenced the trajectory of his life’s work. In his early years of education, Lewis attended several private preparatory schools in Britain, including Wynyard School in Hertfordshire (1908), Campbell College in Belfast (1910), and Cherbourg House at Malvern, Worcestershire (1911). Due to poor health, though, he never remained at these schools for long. It was during his time in Worcestershire that Lewis pronounced himself an atheist, a belief he held onto until 1929 when he became a theist and then a Christian. In December 1916, Lewis received a scholarship to study at University College, Oxford. His life of academic study took a tremendous turn, however, for in 1917 Lewis enlisted in the British Army. After training, Lewis attained the rank of Second Lieutenant with the Third Battalion of the Somerset Light Infantry.

We are now broadcasting the sixth in a series of eight talks by the writer C. S. Lewis, best known for his imaginative fables The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and The Screwtape Letters. This afternoon his theme is Christian marriage.” Jack: “I must begin by making it plain that I have never been married myself. However, the Christian idea of marriage is not based on the experience of individual men and women, but on the teaching of Christ, that is, that marriage is for life.” [laughter] Christopher: “And now the honorable professor plain Jack Lewis will make another very complicated question very simple. This week infanticide. Infanticide is a long word, isn’t it? Let me put it to you in the bluff common man’s language that has made me so popular among bluff common men.” Jack: “I don’t believe you heard a word of it.” Christopher: “A noble address, Jack. Judiciously navigated.” Jack: “Shouldn’t I have said that I’ve not been married?” Clergyman: “Not at all. The personal touch.” Jack: “Anyway I don’t see that it makes any difference. We don’t expect those who teach us sexual morality to be practicing fornicators.” Fellow: “I shouldn’t play that card too often.” Jack: Fellow: “The expert on marriage who’s never been married.

  • Joy Davidman and C.S. Lewis - Cancer Returns
    Joy Davidman and C.S. Lewis - Cancer Returns Who was Joy Davidman Gresham before she married C.S. Lewis? Among other things, she was an extremely intelligent woman who was a poet, a thinker, a teacher, a mother and ... a wife (although her marriage, to William “Bill” Lindsay Gresham, ended in divorce). She later wrote about what caused her to leave Bill (who had called her, one night, to say that he was having a nervous breakdown and couldn’t come home): By nightfall there was nothing left to do but wait and see if he turned up, alive or dead. I put the babies [her two sons with Gresham, David and Douglas] to sleep and waited. For the first time in my life I felt helpless; for the first time my pride was forced to admit that I was not, after all, “the master of my own fate” and “the captain of my soul.” All my defenses—the walls of arrogance and cocksureness and self-love behind which I hid from God—went down momentarily. And God came in. (From Out of My Bone: The Letters of Joy Davidman, edited by Don W. King, at page 128.) Several days later, Bill returned home ... and found another woman with whom he thought he'd make a life. Joy was on her own. With an apparently irreparable marriage, Joy left her two sons with a cousin (Renee) and sailed to England in 1952. She wanted to consult with a writer and thinker whom she greatly respected—C.S. Lewis. Staying with her friend, Phyllis Williams, Joy left London for a day-trip to Oxford.

  • All My Dogs Before Me
    All My Dogs Before Me BRUCE R. JOHNSON ogs? Did C. S. Lewis own dogs?” D That casual question, raised at one of the organizational meetings of the Arizona C. S. Lewis Society,1 led to a rather obscure search. Was Lewis a pet owner? It is well known that he had created two imaginary worlds filled with talking animals: Narnia and Boxen. Less well known was his opposition to vivisection. An entire chapter of The Problem of Pain deals with pain as expe- rienced by animals. A bear at the Whipsnade Zoo, nicknamed “Mr. Bultitude” by Lewis and his brother, Warren, appears as a minor character in That Hideous Strength. The other two books in the Ransom Trilogy contain vivid encounters between man and translunary beasts (both sentient and otherwise). Lewis obvi- ously thought well of animals. But did he have any pets of his own to nurture and deepen that affection? Yes he did, as his autobiography, diary, and letters clearly demonstrate. The following is a list of eight dogs and other pets that were part of Lewis’ household during his life, from boyhood to his death in 1963. The gradual com- piling of this trivia provided some occasional moments of comic relief as the Ari- zona C. S. Lewis Society began to take shape. During future gatherings, there are sure to be additional trivia amassed on the pets and other pastimes of Lewis and his extended household. 1 There were eleven organizational meetings of the Arizona C. S. Lewis Society leading up to the workshop for the film premier of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe heldheld onon Octo-Octo- ber 22, 2005.
