    Surrounded! “C. S. LEWIS: SURPRISED by JOY!”

    June 21, 2015 Surrounded! “C. S. LEWIS: SURPRISED BY JOY!” Rev. Gary Haller First United Methodist Church Birmingham, Michigan John 16:19-22 Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him, so he said to them, “Are you discussing among yourselves what I meant when I said, ‘A little while, and you will no longer see me, and again a little while, and you will see me’? Very truly, I tell you, you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will have pain, but your pain will turn into joy. When a woman is in labor, she has pain, because her hour has come. But when her child is born, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy of having brought a human being into the world. So you have pain now; but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.” Matthew 13:44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” “Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. This story is about something that happened to them when they were sent away from London during the war because of the air-raids. They were sent to the house of an old Professor who lived in the heart of the country, ten miles from the nearest railway station and two miles from the nearest post office.” Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy soon realize that they have a lot of freedom due to the lack of supervision and decide to play a game of hide and seek in the house.

  • Willow Creek: the Fiction of C

    Willow Creek: the Fiction of C

    C.S. Lewis and the Apologetics of Story Some have claimed that C.S. Lewis drifted towards fiction the last decade of his life because he was failed as an Apologist and no longer able to keep up with the complex philosophical questions of his day. In fact, fiction was always part of Lewis’s output. He wrote, “The imaginative man in me is older than the rational man and more continually operative.” Lewis used story as one of the tools in his rhetorical tool box because he knew that some people will not listen to a coherent and reasonable presentation of the Gospel. Their rejection of the things of God is buttressed with rationalization and self-justification. Reason stands before these people’s hearts like dragon sentries preventing even the best apologetic arguments from getting through. But, Lewis believed, sometimes story can get past watchful dragons. This Network will explore Lewis’s use of story as a rhetorical and apologetical tool for the Gospel. Jerry Root is Professor of Christian Education at Wheaton College and serves as the Director of the Evangelism Initiative. Jerry is a graduate of Whittier College and Talbot Graduate School of Theology at Biola University; he received his PhD from the Open University. Jerry is the author or co-author of numerous books on C.S. Lewis, including The Surprising Imagination of C.S. Lewis: An Introduction, with Mark Neal, C.S. Lewis and a Problem of Evil: An Investigation of a Pervasive Theme, and The Soul of C.S. Lewis: A Meditative Journey through Twenty-six of His Best Loved Writings.
  • The Mathematical Mind of C. S. Lewis

    The Mathematical Mind of C. S. Lewis

    THE MATHEMATICAL MIND OF C. S. LEWIS THE MATHEMATICAL MIND OF C. S. LEWIS MATT D. LUNSFORD live Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the 20th century and arguably the most influ- Cential Christian author of that period. Lewis was born in Belfast, educated at Oxford, and taught medieval and Renaissance literature at both Oxford and Cambridge. As a scholar, he made significant contributions to the areas of literary criticism, children’s literature, and fantasy literature. His conversion to Christianity is well documented in his autobiography Surprised by Joy, as is his personal struggle with learning mathematics. He admits that he “could never have gone very far in any science because on the path of every science the lion mathematics lies in wait for you.” In spite of his lack of success in mathematics, Lewis, through his writings, exhibited a deep appreciation of the discipline. More specifically, Lewis’ thinking, as expressed in his writings, reflects two essential tools of a mathematician’s mind: ratiocination and imagination. Ratiocination is the process of logical reasoning. Lewis enjoyed all mathematics that involved mere reasoning but was less fond of mathematical calculation. In his early training at Oldie’s School, Lewis claims only some geometry and grammar as accomplish- ments. In reflecting upon this time, he comments, “that though he [Oldie] taught geometry cruelly, he taught it well. He forced us to reason, and I have been the better for those geometry lessons all 57 RENEWING MINDS of my life.” His tutelage later under Kirk (Mr. Kirkpatrick), though not imbued with mathematics, proved indispensable for his ratio- cination skills.

Lewis published a narrative poem, Dymer, which not only sheds light on the development of his literary skills but also offers a glimpse of his intellectual and spiritual growth. Including the complete annotated text of Lewis’s poem, this volume helps us understand both Lewis’s change of mind and our own journeys of faith. The Hansen Lectureship Series from InterVarsity Press The Hansen Lectureship Series features reflections related to the imaginative work and lasting influence of seven British authors, including C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, George MacDonald, and Dorothy L. Sayers. The books in the series are based on the Ken and Jean Hansen Lectureship, an annual lecture series hosted at the Marion E. Wade Center at Wheaton College, named in honor of former Wheaton College trustee Ken Hansen and his wife, Jean, and endowed in their memory by Walter and Darlene Hansen. Each book includes three lectures by a Wheaton College faculty member on one or more of the Wade Center authors with responses by fellow faculty members. Founded in 1965, the Marion E. Wade Center houses a major research collection of writings and related materials by and about seven British authors: Owen Barfield, G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, George MacDonald, Dorothy L. Sayers, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams. The Wade Center collects, preserves, and makes these resources available to researchers and visitors through its reading room, museum displays, educational programming, and publications.

    “To Be Concerned about Being Grown Up”: Preoccupation with the Adult in C.S. Lewis’s Boxen Juvenilia Senior Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For a Degree Bachelor of Arts with A Major in Literature at The University of North Carolina at Asheville Fall 2006 By Jessica Wallace _______________________ Thesis Director Dr. Deborah James _______________________ Thesis Advisor Dr. Merritt Moseley Wallace 1 C.S. Lewis was born to be a writer. He once overheard his father tell his grandfather, “‘He is the most easily amused child I ever saw. Give him pencil and paper and he’ll be quiet for hours’” (C.S. Lewis, “Autobiographical Fragment 2”). As a child, Lewis created imaginary worlds, and his earliest stories grew out of his drawings of Animalland, a country of anthropomorphic animals. At some point, Lewis merged his Animalland with his brother Warren’s land of India to create Boxen, a land inhabited by talking animals and Indians. Five “novels” and one play survive from the Boxen years. Surprisingly, scholars have ignored these earliest Lewis writings. Because juvenilia are traditionally considered non-canonical works “outside the corpus of respectable material for study,” Lewis’s Boxen juvenilia have been relegated to a “marginal literary status” (Alexander, “Defining” 93). However, the Boxen juvenilia deserve scholarly attention because the stories provide a glimpse into the mind of a child author, granting insight into Lewis’s childhood preoccupation with the adult. In one of the few critical pieces on the Boxen juvenilia, Walter Hooper, the self- appointed literary executor of the Lewis estate and editor of many posthumously published Lewis essays, discussed the young Lewis’s deliberate attempts to “sound adult” in his juvenilia.
