The Psychology Of Hell: Privation, Exclusion, And Banishment As Symbols Of Hell In The Life Of C.S. Lewis, Reggie Weems Apr 2023

The Psychology Of Hell: Privation, Exclusion, And Banishment As Symbols Of Hell In The Life Of C.S. Lewis, Reggie Weems

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

These few examples demonstrate that Lewis’s fundamental view of Hell was primarily influenced by Christ but also shaped by Christian history and literature. This does not mean that his choice of the particular words "privation, exclusion and banishment" is solely dependent on biblical, historical, or literary influences. It may very well be that Lewis employed these particular expressions because they represented certain traumatic Hell-on-earth experiences endured in his formative years—events that personalized the doctrine and added significant, practical weight to his academic, theological, philosophical, and literary understanding of its horrifying reality.

Nature Or Natures Or Natural Laws? Some Comments On C.S. Lewis's Use Of The Concept Of Nature In Miracles, A Preliminary Study, Thomas Storck Apr 2023

Nature Or Natures Or Natural Laws? Some Comments On C.S. Lewis's Use Of The Concept Of Nature In Miracles, A Preliminary Study, Thomas Storck

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

Now, although Lewis, of course, did not think that nature was a closed system inaccessible to any action from outside it, and in fact, his entire book was written to argue the opposite point of view, I hope to show that this continual usage of nature as “total system” prejudices the argument against miracles, at least subconsciously, by suggesting that nature is a closed system, or at least a system which ordinarily is blocked to outside entry or interference. Thus, David Hume’s unfortunately classic definition— “A miracle is a violation of the laws of nature . . .”6—is premised on …

"The Packed Reality Of Heaven": C.S. Lewis's Imaginative Re-Education Of The Modern Pilgrim, Monika B. Hilder Apr 2023

"The Packed Reality Of Heaven": C.S. Lewis's Imaginative Re-Education Of The Modern Pilgrim, Monika B. Hilder

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

How to think of Heaven then, which Lewis says “is, by definition, outside our experience,” when the fact is that “all intelligible descriptions must be of things within our experience” is a question that Lewis took seriously, especially since the scriptural imagery “[a]t first sight . . . chill[ed], rather than awake[ned], [his] desire.” He asked how a “typical modern” like himself might interpret the heavenly concept of glory. The first idea of fame suggested to him hellish competition; the second idea of brightness suggested the “ridiculous” image of becoming “a kind of living electric light bulb.” Indeed, he contends …

The Efforts Of C.S. Lewis To Aid British Prisoners Of War During World War Ii, Bruce R. Johnson Apr 2023

The Efforts Of C.S. Lewis To Aid British Prisoners Of War During World War Ii, Bruce R. Johnson

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

Edward Sniders is not the only prisoner of war to have received counsel and encouragement from C. S. Lewis during World War II. In fact, Lewis found three different ways to support various British prisoners in their time of extreme need. He did this through supervising the selection of religious books sent to POW camp libraries, developing with J. R. R. Tolkien an English Literature study course and examination for POWs, and writing to individual prisoners. The present article will explore each of these three efforts.

"Raised By Implication": C.S. Lewis's Studies In Words And Historical And Moral Judgment, Philip Irving Mitchell Apr 2023

"Raised By Implication": C.S. Lewis's Studies In Words And Historical And Moral Judgment, Philip Irving Mitchell

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

C. S. Lewis wrote Studies in Words "to help students understand the lexical and historical meaning of certain common words, in effect, to assist “a more accurate reading of old books.” His choice of words, with their classical, European, and British contexts, is reflective of Lewis’s vocation as a professor of English literature. However, the chosen words also contain moral meanings. While the primary purpose of Studies is to train the reader in making conceptual distinctions, it also provides a kind of training in interpretive and historical responsibility that runs parallel with Lewis’s view of the natural moral law. The …
