C S LEWIS MODULE

Myself and about 25 other apologetic students are taking a week-long module on the apologetic teachings of C. S. Lewis. It was after reading MERE CHRISTIANITY in 1980, that I decided to surrender my life to Jesus Christ. Lewis had a unique ability to capture the thoughts and musings of modern men and woment and to hold them up to the light of God's truth. That was over 25 years ago and I am still facinated by his remarkable insights into the life of faith. Dr. Gary Habermas, Dean of the Philosophy department at Liberty University is leading the seminary. Habermas is an expert on matters Lewis after haining studied and taught at Oxford and Cambridge. Lewis' popularity continues to rise in both secular and faith circles, particularly after the release of the excellent film based on his Narnia series. We are studying his apologetic approaches in MERE CHRISTIANITY, THE PROBLEM OF PAIN, MIRACLES, and THE GREAT DIVORCE. Dr. Habermas is particularly emphasizing Lewis' perspectives on imagination, joy, pain, and doubt. We'll unpack some of the insights over the weeks ahead.
