Enchanting Luna And Militant Mars: The Shorter Planetary Fiction Of C.S. Lewis, Bruce R. Johnson Apr 2023

Enchanting Luna And Militant Mars: The Shorter Planetary Fiction Of C.S. Lewis, Bruce R. Johnson

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

As the debate surrounding Ward’s theory continues—all the more so with the recent release of a book version of The Narnia Code—a reexamination of Lewis’ shorter planetary fiction seems in order. In his lunar tale, “Forms of Things Unknown,” and in his Martian story, “Ministering Angels,” what aspects of the older cosmological model can be discerned? Are they in keeping with what Ward claims are the essences of Luna and Mars, as Lewis understood them? And what, if any, theological points may Lewis be making in these two tales? The present study will address each of these three issues. It …

C.S. Lewis, Public Intellectual, Samuel Joeckel Apr 2023

C.S. Lewis, Public Intellectual, Samuel Joeckel

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

Despite such hints and evocations, it appears that no one has attempted a systematic analysis of Lewis as a public intellectual. That is, no one has methodically employed extant theories on the concept of the public intellectual to assess how (or even whether) he fits the bill. No one has used these theories as an interpretive lens for analyzing Lewis’ writings. No one has analyzed the historical conditions during Lewis’ lifetime that pushed him into the role of public intellectual. No one has explored how Lewis adheres to the conventions of public discourse, the language of the public intellectual. And …

Adventures Dipped In Myth: The Voyage Of The 'Dawn Treader' As Quest Saga, D. G. Kehl Apr 2023

Adventures Dipped In Myth: The Voyage Of The 'Dawn Treader' As Quest Saga, D. G. Kehl

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

"No works of Lewis deal with the quest motif more extensively, consistently, and significantly than The Chronicles of Narnia (1950–6)....It is The Voyage of the ‘Dawn Treader,’ however, which perhaps best exemplifies the quest motif and which itself constitutes a quest saga."

The Lore Of Wood And Stone: Magic In The Chronicles Of Narnia And The Lord Of The Rings, Louis Markos Apr 2023

The Lore Of Wood And Stone: Magic In The Chronicles Of Narnia And The Lord Of The Rings, Louis Markos

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

Lewis and Tolkien were apologists for magic in an age where the lore of wood and stone had all but been crushed between two opposing forces: secular technologies that seek to conquer nature and force it to serve the whims of man, and Christian churches that see in magic only the evil sorcery of Simon Magus and the Witch of Endor. In The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings, modern readers are presented with a different incantation: a magic that shatters the anti-humanistic side of technology while affirming the deep and abiding creativity of the Triune God.

Why Father Christmas Appears In Narnia, P. H. Brazier Apr 2023

Why Father Christmas Appears In Narnia, P. H. Brazier

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

"Though Lewis did not explain the presence of Father Christmas in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, given his methodology of “supposal” it is reasonable to formulate an explanation in these terms, rather than seeking allegorical coincidences; clearly, in the context of the internal coherence within the story, this explanation makes a certain sense. Father Christmas’ presence in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe may at first generate confusion and skepticism from those who fail to see that he is a “gift-bearer” sent by Aslan. In Platonic terms, however, he is ultimately a gift-bearer sent by God, Aslan’s …

C.S. Lewis: Literary Criticism And Critical Theory A Primary And Secondary Bibliography, James P. Helfers Apr 2023

C.S. Lewis: Literary Criticism And Critical Theory A Primary And Secondary Bibliography, James P. Helfers

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

Excerpt: "A major problem with compiling a focused bibliography of texts related to C. S. Lewis’ work as a literary critic and critical theorist is that critical theory as a concept is a relatively recent invention. One can think of critical theory as the explicit consideration of the ontological and epistemological status of objects of literary study, and as the philosophical consideration of various aspects of the interpretation of texts (hermeneutics). Although a number of philosophical writings since the Greek Classical Period have significance for critical theory, the idea that an interpretive approach to texts can be considered philosophically probably …

Toward A Narnian Valuation Of Nature: Participatory Ontology, Jeff Sellars Apr 2023

Toward A Narnian Valuation Of Nature: Participatory Ontology, Jeff Sellars

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

Lewis’ appreciation of nature begs the question: from where does the natural world gain its purpose and meaning? Lewis’ valuation of nature can be understood perhaps best through participatory ontology: the immanent world is valued and saved only through the participation of the divine; the lower life is brought up into the higher life. This view can be seen very openly and unmistakably throughout The Chronicles of Narnia, where the natural Narnian world of plants, animals, trees, and creatures of all kinds are celebrated, and some are eventually included in the New Narnia.

Diversity In Times Of Adversity: Sounding A Horn In Narnia, D. G. Kehl Apr 2023

Diversity In Times Of Adversity: Sounding A Horn In Narnia, D. G. Kehl

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

Why, one might ask, does Lewis go to such great lengths to specify twelve different varieties of animals—“all you variety of creatures”—if not to stress diversity? In Letters to Malcolm Lewis wrote: “If grace perfects nature it must expand all our natures into the full richness of the diversity which God intended when He made them.”
