Dorothy L. Sayers And The Passionate Intellect, Roger Phillips
Dorothy L. Sayers And The Passionate Intellect, Roger Phillips
Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016
Dorothy L. Sayers wrote, “[W]here the intellect is dominant it becomes the channel of all other feelings. The ‘passionate intellect’ is really passionate. It is the only point at which ecstasy can enter.” While a phrase that is often used by biographers, the actual meaning of ‘passionate intellect’ is up for discussion. In exploring the life of Sayers one can see how she came to use this term and its meaning in the context of her life.

C.S. Lewis: Past Watchful Dragons, Stephanie Jones
C.S. Lewis: Past Watchful Dragons, Stephanie Jones
Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016
Through his many stories C.S. Lewis has a unique way in which he engages the reader, first catching them with an idea, then slipping past the “watchful dragons” of our intellect to speak to our deepest parts. These stories are often discussed intellectually, but it is also important to know how these stories impact readers on a personal level.

Till We Have Faces: A Restoration Of Perspective On The Condition Of Man, Joan Alexander
Till We Have Faces: A Restoration Of Perspective On The Condition Of Man, Joan Alexander
Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016
Man’s relationship to a Divine Being is one of the persisting concerns of literature, with modern leanings contending that God does not exist or does not involve himself with man. C.S. Lewis’s Till We Have Faces concerns itself with this approach to God, proposing that it might not be God who is the problem but man’s perception of him.

Human Destiny In That Hideous Strength, Wilfred Martens
Human Destiny In That Hideous Strength, Wilfred Martens
Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016
Though the most different book from his space trilogy, That Hideous Strength by C.S. Lewis is an important part of the narrative within the trilogy. Whereas Out of the Silent Plant and Paralandra spoke of the battle of good and evil in distant space, That Hideous Strength presents the same battle happening on earth. This narrative poses a question of readers in a way that the others did not, asking them how they will respond to the battle happening in their home world. In doing so, Lewis presents a case on the nature of man and his influence over destiny. …

Some Shattering Simplicity: Suffering, Love, And Faith In The Thought Of C.S. Lewis, Jennifer Woodruff
Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016
A repeated theme in the works of C.S. Lewis is the tension inherent in why and how we believe and accept Christianity. Christianity makes sense of reality, but at the same time shatters all our expectations of reality. Examining Lewis’s writings about the nature of suffering, faith, and love we learn how this is not a contradiction but a shattering simplicity that reveals the truth about reality.

The Apologetics Of Chesterton And Lewis In A World Marked By Disbelief, Michael R. Smith
Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016
In an age characterized by meaninglessness and relativeness, arguments once thought to be timeless are challenged by a postmodernism world view that evaluates all ideas as equal and flawed just the same. G.K Chesterton and C.S. Lewis are two sources of authority regularly referenced by current apologists, and provide a variety of logically sound arguments for Christianity.
