The Nurse Of Elfland: Lizzie Endicott And C.S. Lewis, Reggie Weems
The Nurse Of Elfland: Lizzie Endicott And C.S. Lewis, Reggie Weems
Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature
In Surprised by Joy, C.S. Lewis introduced Lizzie Endicott as the first of two "other blessings" in his childhood, even before his introduction of Warnie. But apart from his abbreviated 136-word biography, very little is known about the nurse who introduced Lewis to faery tales. Based on the Lewis Family Papers, genealogical research, and personal interviews with Lizzie’s relatives, this article introduces Lizzie to the world of Lewismania. It also suggests various ways in which Lizzie influenced the man and the author that C.S. Lewis became, as well as the mythical worlds he created and Lewis’s anonymous tributes to …
Echoes Of War: The Great War’S Impact On Literature, Samuel R. Williams
Echoes Of War: The Great War’S Impact On Literature, Samuel R. Williams
The Great Lakes Journal of Undergraduate History
This paper examines the works produced by: Erich Maria Remarque, Ernest Hemingway, C.S. Lewis, and J.R.R. Tolkien, specifically to show how their writings recorded and translated the experiences of soldiers during World War I, and their struggle to assimilate into civilian society afterward. By examining authors and novels from varying geographic and national background, common themes of bitterness, trauma, and disillusionment are found in men that fought on both sides of the conflict. Literature’s reflection of these scars appears in the lived experiences woven into the writings by the authors, and the reactions of the wider public that shared similar …

Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016
C.S. Lewis, though considered a great apologist for the Christian faith, did not become a Christian until the age of thirty-one. The many years spent as an atheist not only influenced his writings after his conversion, but allowed him to become a great apologist.

Virtue, Civilization And The Restitution Of Man, Angus J.L. Menuge
Virtue, Civilization And The Restitution Of Man, Angus J.L. Menuge
Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016
One of the greatest issues facing modern civilization to day is the evasion of character formation in individuals. The value of personal virtue is not something apart from public responsibility, but intrinsically intertwined. In his various books and writings C.S. Lewis reveals four areas where he observed this decline: the failure of modern ethics, scientism, educational trends, and the rise of propaganda as a surrogate for moral influence.
C.S. Lewis: The Abolition Of Man, Christopher Horton
C.S. Lewis: The Abolition Of Man, Christopher Horton
Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016
In The Abolition of Man, C.S. Lewis calls the natural, moral law of the universe by the name Tao. This essay seeks to define Lewis’s idea of the Tao, demonstrate where the principle of the Tao is reinforced in Lewis’s fictional works, and conclude with Lewis’s ‘prophetical’ warnings to modern humanity’s rebellion against the Tao.

Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016
The Chronicles of Narnia are some of C.S. Lewis’s most beloved books, but how did they come about and what was their purpose? By tracing his life, interests, and faith one can see how these elements shaped Lewis’s narrative of Narnia.

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
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.

Unto The End Of The World: Omega Point Eschatology In C.S. Lewis And Pierre Teilhard De Chardin, Chris Smith
Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016
There are many diverse understandings of the futuristic passages of scriptures and how to interpret their terms and symbols. Two eschatological perspectives on the “Omega Point” (the end of time when God would re-unite the church with himself) can be found in the writings of French Jesuit anthropologist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and British Scholar C.S. Lewis.

The Question Of Biblical Allegory In Tell We Have Faces, David Bedsole
Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016
In 1956, C.S. Lewis published a retelling of a pagan myth, Till We Have Faces. On the surface one may simply read it as a retelling, but considering his career as a theological author one can see how Till We Have Faces is rich with Christian themes and thought.

C.S. Lewis And Christian Scholarship, Bruce Edwards
Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016
While well-loved and known for his profound impact on Christian apologetics, C.S. Lewis also made a mark on the world as a skilled academic. By observing his life one can see that his Christian work and academic work were not distinct, but born from the same desire to follow Christ.

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.
