The first half, where Markos discusses and explicates much of Lewis's Christian apologetics, was fascinating listening. Once he got into Lewis's fiction, however, I was much less interested. This is of course partly because I have no time for [The Chronicles of Narnia], but I also started to get irritated with Markos, who seems so taken with Lewis that he never really critiques him and became a little preachy himself. I also wish he had better addressed some of the thorniest bits of tCoN a little more thoroughly (the racism, the misogyny) rather than kind of handwaving them away. Not a waste of time, but one too many "A modern feminist would tell you" followed by a reductive statement about feminism and the like for me to be fully on board. I just didn't trust that he was engaging fully enough or with enough nuance with any of the material. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: What can we still learn from C.S. Lewis? Find out in these 12 insightful lectures that cover the author's spiritual autobiography, novels, and his scholarly writings that reflect on pain and grief, love and friendship, prophecy and miracles, and education and mythology. This is your chance to explore a canon of literary work that speaks volumes about the imaginative, emotional, and spiritual power of literature. As you delve into the depths of enduring works such as the Chronicles of Narnia, The Screwtape Letters, Mere Christianity, and Till We Have Faces , you'll consider a range of questions central to truly understanding why C.S. Lewis has had such a profound impact on 20th-century readers. From the magisterial Oxford History of English Literature to children's fantasy series, how did Lewis write with such brilliance and coherence in so many distinct fields? What were the people, events, and influences that shaped his thought, his character, and the spiritual drama at his life's core? What do Lewis's fictional and factual autobiographies reveal about his conversion and his efforts to explain and defend Christianity? How do his writings help readers come to grips with perennial spiritual questions involving miracles, suffering, sin, and salvation? Join Professor Markos for an eye-opening examination of why Lewis - the Oxbridge don and self-described, "very ordinary layman of the Church of England," touches millions of readers so deeply and is considered the most widely read Christian spokesman of our time. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
