An irresistible writer of wonder
Few modern Christian writers have brought together faith, reason, and imagination as compellingly as C.S. Lewis.
In works such as Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, and The Abolition of Man, Lewis took up some of the most important questions of the Christian life. What is the foundation of good and evil? What does it mean to be converted? How should Christians approach prayer and Scripture? How can we understand suffering, death, heaven, and hell?
Lewis did not approach these questions only as abstract theological problems. His own journey from atheism to Christianity, and his experiences of joy, suffering, and grief, shaped how he understood and communicated the faith.
Hillsdale College invites you to explore these questions in the free, seven-lesson online course, “C.S. Lewis on Christianity,” taught by leading C.S. Lewis scholar Michael Ward.
Across seven lessons, Professor Ward examines Lewis’s thought and writing, showing how he defended the truth and goodness of Christianity while offering practical insights into the life of faith.
Whether you have read Lewis for years or are encountering his Christian writings for the first time, this course offers an opportunity to study one of the most influential Christian thinkers of the modern age with Hillsdale College.
