C.S. Lewis Study (Movie and Book)
6:00- 7:00 PM
Room A201
Mere Christianity $21.00
September 8-October 13
We will start off by watching the movie, Through The Shadowlands. This film is about the agonizing spiritual crisis of C.S. Lewis when his wife died from cancer. The love, grief, pain, and sorrow were so shattering to Lewis that his basic Christian beliefs, magnificently communicated in his many books, were now called into serious doubt. But he picked up the pieces and moved out of the depressing shadowlands, realizing that real life has not even begun yet.
Then the class will read Mere Christianity. Expanded into a book form, Mere Christianity, never flinches as it sets out a rational basis for Christianity and builds an edifice of compassionate morality atop this foundation. As Mr. Lewis clearly demonstrates, Christianity is not a religion of flitting angels and blind faith, but of free will, an innate sense of justice and the grace of God.
