C.S. Lewis: 4 Key Books – Online Course

$249.00

Instructor: Jesse Sumpter

Starts: Tuesday, June 28, 2022
Meets on ZOOM Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4pm PT/7pm ET

C.S. Lewis has shaped Christian thought for the last century. Four key books from Lewis are: Screwtape Letters, Abolition of Man, God in the Dock, and The Last Battle. These books reveal the way that Lewis both diagnosed our key problems and also offered pivotal solutions. These works are a great place to start with Lewis and they are also a great way to dig deeper into his insightful mind. Lewis helps his readers think like a Christian in education, politics, marriage, family life, and the church. Through discussions and readings in these works you will come to understand Lewis better and gain biblical insight into the spiritual battles all around us. 

The readings for the class are kept to a short size so that attendees can keep up easily. Attendees are welcome at each class even if they do not have the reading completed.  

Objectives: 

  • Understand What Lewis sees as the key Flaws in Modern education and philosophy
  • Recognize How Lewis uses the gospel to heal key problems in marriage
  • See How Lewis identifies the devious nature of tyrannical governments
  • Gain a deeper understanding of the human heart through the eyes of Lewis
