“Evil Enchantment” Versus Platonic Vision: Dante, Lewis, And The Weight Of Glory, Jason Baxter
“Evil Enchantment” Versus Platonic Vision: Dante, Lewis, And The Weight Of Glory, Jason Baxter
Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal
C. S. Lewis was convinced that, in the modern world, goodness often strikes us as bland and diluted, a kind of spiritual neutral. What we need, especially in the modern world, he thought, is a positive vision of the good, a vision of beauties that “pierce like swords or burn like cold iron,” as he once said of Tolkien’s work. We need a positive picture and we need to have positive desire, as opposed to thinking of goodness primarily in negative terms, as “not being bad.” Lewis thought we need to have a sense of the gravity and heaviness and, …
Paradise Retained: C. S. Lewis On The Nature Of Knowledge, Reality, And Morality In Perelandra, Richard L. W. Clarke
Paradise Retained: C. S. Lewis On The Nature Of Knowledge, Reality, And Morality In Perelandra, Richard L. W. Clarke
Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal
The world-view which informs Perelandra (1943) in particular and the so-called “space trilogy” more generally, of which it is the second volume, is deeply infused with that blend of Christianity and Platonism that is the hallmark of the thought of C. S. Lewis and which I explore at some length in the companion essay to this piece in this volume, “The Neoplatonic Christianity of C. S. Lewis.” Perelandra is, I would argue, a literary rendition of some of the most important philosophical arguments in defense of Christianity mounted by Lewis in Mere Christianity and elsewhere.

“Happily Ever After” For The Twenty-First Century? Sex, Love, And Human Identity In C. S. Lewis’ The Chronicles Of Narnia, Monika B. Hilder
“Happily Ever After” For The Twenty-First Century? Sex, Love, And Human Identity In C. S. Lewis’ The Chronicles Of Narnia, Monika B. Hilder
Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal
For better and for worse, classic fairy tales have come under severe criticism as paradigms of sexist patriarchy in recent decades. Likewise, C. S. Lewis has been viewed as sexist, even misogynistic. While many fairy tale and Lewis fans might be tempted to dismiss all of these criticisms as nonsense, gender is one of the predominant discourses of our time, our questions and the varied answers are significant, and in this essay I consider how Lewis’ development of the fairy tale genre in The Chronicles of Narnia offers timeless, possibly even surprising, Christian wisdom. How does Lewis portray sex, love, …
Conflict, Forgiveness, And The Healing Of Harms In C. S. Lewis’ The Chronicles Of Narnia, Jeffrey A. Misener
Conflict, Forgiveness, And The Healing Of Harms In C. S. Lewis’ The Chronicles Of Narnia, Jeffrey A. Misener
Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal
Excerpt: "In The Chronicles of Narnia, children are celebrated as models of heroic potential in the ways they realize, apologize for, and repent of sinful words and deeds. This is in keeping with C. S. Lewis’ desire that his young readers would recognize and practice these virtues as signs of the “childlike faith” Jesus expects of his disciples (Mark 10:15; Luke 18:17).92 Conversely, adults are generally shown to be owners of an obtuse conscience and a recalcitrant will.
C. S. Lewis And The Occult Temptation, Thomas Garrett Isham
C. S. Lewis And The Occult Temptation, Thomas Garrett Isham
Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal
Twice in his life C. S. Lewis encountered—and greatly admired—authors involved in occult theory and practice.1 The first such figure was William Butler Yeats, the second, more than two decades later, Charles Williams. Lewis reacted to their occult preoccupations in quite different ways, even while acknowledging his continuing fascination with the subject.
