One of the greatest issues facing modern civilization to day is the evasion of character formation in individuals.

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.

Past The Ravening Lion Of Presentism: C.S. Lewis In The Next Century, Richard Hill

Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016

One of C.S. Lewis’s pet peeves was the phenomenon he called “chronological snobbery,” a concept other writers have termed “presentism.” The notion involves the smug certainty that today’s idea on anything are automatically improvements on what people in the past thought on the same subjects. This paper examines the concepts of presentism and how it relates to Lewis and current culture.

The Necessity Of Doubt In George Macdonald's Within And Without, James Washick

Inklings Forever: Published Colloquium Proceedings 1997-2016

While the Scottish author George MacDonald is currently remembered as a writer of fiction and fantasy, in his own time he was well known for his poetry as well, even preferring to think of himself as a poet rather than a novelist.

Aurelia: A Crow Creek Trilogy, Elizabeth Cook-Lynn

Elizabeth Cook-Lynn Collection

A collection of three novellas spanning several decades, Aurelia tells of the invasion of Indian lands, the destruction of a river--the Missouri, or Mni Sosa--in the twentieth century, the continued failure of the people of the Northern Plains (both Indian and white) to refute historical fraud, and the grief and joy of an American Indian family.
The first novella in this collection, From the River's Edge (first published as a single volume by Arcade Publishing, 1991), is the story of John Tatekeya's (tah-tAY-kee-ya) efforts to obtain reparation in a white man's court for forty-five head of stolen cattle. Even as …

The Pi Code, Michael Keith

Word Ways

Martin Gardner's fictional Doctor Matrix used to say that, property interpreted, the number pi (the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, whose decimal expansion begins 3.14159265897932384626...) contains the entire history of mankind. In this article I give some results of looking at pi in a relatively new way: as an infinite string of letters derived from its expansion in base 26 or base 27.
