A lecture series looking at examples of the three major genres of C.S. Lewis's literary criticism, fiction, and apologetics.
Curated by: Dr Scott Masson (29 videos)
This lecture begins with the discussion of the Narnia Chronicles in general, and the pattern we observe of Lewis devoting himself to fiction rather than writing works of Christian apologetics. I dispute the claim it was because of any perceived failure on his part, and had more to do with longstanding interests he had in medieval stories, the cosmology of which plays out in these texts. But rather than just cleaving to what he will go on to call 'the discarded image', I contend he engages on a third level, employing the idea of multiverses to show how provisional all 'worldviews' actually are, including the one of our own day. ❤️ If you find my channel helpful, become a channel member: www.youtube.com/c/DrScottMasson ❤️ Subscribe to my Substack: https://drscottmasson.substack.com/ ❤️ Support my channel and assist me in providing better content: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?token=FZN9nCjKxWQNUnF_jsASfpjiVyRpj1H_mdGvxmYj9wIO-ZgrxM5vR1V-nTy3kKygP1gh10&fromUL=true&country.x=CA&locale.x=en_US/?token=FZN9nCjKxWQNUnF_jsASfpjiVyRpj1H_mdGvxmYj9wIO-ZgrxM5vR1V-nTy3kKygP1gh10&fromUL=true&country.x=CA&locale.x=en_US
