C. S. LEWIS: THEOLOGICAL APOLOGETICS

Catalog description

This course immerses students within the theological apologetics depicted in the fiction and non-fiction works of C. S. Lewis, one of the twentieth century’s great Christian writers. The students will learn to reflect more deeply upon fundamental theological areas of study, such as God, Creation, the Fall, Redemption, Anthropology, Morality, and Eschatology, while also learning to give an account of the Christian faith (cf. 1 Pet 3:15) in the midst of an often uncomprehending and, at times, hostile audience. Attention will be paid to the connection between Lewis’ writings and philosophical and theological authors both within and without the Christian tradition. Cross-listed with THEO 370. Prerequisites: THEO 105, THEO 205.
