The Life and Writings of C. S. Lewis

Life and Writings of
C. S. Lewis
(12 lectures, 30 minutes/lecture)
Course No. 297 Taught by Louis Markos
Houston Baptist University
Ph.D., University of Michigan
A New Study Starting in February!!!
What
is it about British literary scholar and author C. S. Lewis
- this
Oxbridge don and self-described "very ordinary layman of the Church of
England" - that
touches millions of readers so deeply, making him the
most widely read Christian spokesman of our time? In
February, we will embark on a 2 year journey through the life and
writings of CS Lewis as we read his books and meet every other month to
listen to talks by Dr. Louis Markos,
professor at Houston Baptist University, and Lewis scholar and
enthusiast. Professor Markos presents this course as a sympathetic,
deeply felt exposition of
Lewis's multifaceted thought and works, making no secret of the fact
that he is a longtime and enthusiastic fan of Lewis's writings. In
these lectures we will cover Lewis's spiritual autobiography and
other creative works, as well as his scholarly writings that reflect on
pain and grief, love and friendship, prophecy and miracles, and
education and mythology.
