C. S. Lewis

“It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg.”- C.S Lewis Transition is a difficult concept for many individuals, but is necessary in order to progress. Often times we set goals, but don't reach them because we rather stay in our “egg” and that was the case when I switched schools. My initial environment had been cozy and friendly. My school was located in a Hispanic neighborhood and almost everyone spoke Spanish.…

Today C.S. Lewis is known as one of the greatest Christian apologist of the modern age, and, through works such as Surprised by Joy, he has convinced numerous people to investigate Christianity. Considering this, it is interesting to note that he did not become a Christian until somewhat late in life, despite the instances of Joy he experienced. He later realized that these moments of Joy were signposts marking a longing for something greater than his current reality and ushering him toward…

women are paying attention to getting themselves educated. Even though we have come far enough where most women do not need follow any “societal rules” there are certain traditions which have continued to stick in the minds of a society. The author C. S. Lewis has depicted portrayal of women in the society in his plot through the eyes of other people as well. This will be my main focus for the literary analysis of the book “That Hideous Strength”. Surprisingly, a woman herself might not feel…

According to C.S. Lewis, when a person writes something, what they are passionate about is subconsciously written into their work. Lewis claims that when he wrote the Chronicles of Narnia series, he did not originally intend to write it about the gospel or about Jesus---he claims that the story just flowed out of him. After reading the series, one could easily come to the conclusion that Lewis must have been very passionate about the relationship between God and man. Although it was not Lewis’…

C.S. Lewis, in Mere Christianity, discusses love throughout but particularly in chapters six, seven, and nine. Lewis talks about how Christians are to practice love through marriage, through forgiving, and through charity. By discussing how Christians are to practice love in these three sense, he also gives a picture of what love/Christ-like love is in his view. His view is different in many ways from other popular secular and religious depictions of love. His love is different than just being…

over if God exists or not. Two of those people are named C.S. Lewis, who believed that God exists, and Sigmund Freud, who believed that God does not exist. According to Armand Nicholi, Freud and Lewis thought the question of God was the most important question in the world. Out of the two, one of them had a stronger case for his worldview. Despite Sigmund Freud for giving strong counterarguments against C.S. Lewis 's worldview, C.S. Lewis made the stronger case for his worldview because…

C.S. Lewis’ final novel in his space trilogy, The Tortured Planet, provides a disturbing image of what our environment may be reduced to if man’s ideals and attitudes toward nature become radical enough to seek destruction of it and to deny our place within its structure altogether. As the novel progresses, the closed world space of the National Institute of Coordinated Experiments, or N.I.C.E, foments distorted rationality, the exploitation of nature and the denial of objective mortality.…

Mere Christianity is a theological book written by C.S. Lewis, where he proclaims his views and arguments about society, primarily relating it to Christianity, and how the world governs it. Throughout the book, Lewis argues that God has affected the universe and has given us the ability to do anything. He believes in Christianity and how its is the “religion you could never have guessed” due to its ludicrous, yet also very practical, beliefs and statements, and how it is the most perfect option…

time of need. I didn’t know why we had morals and why there were important to society. Also, I didn’t understand why there was suffering in the world. C.S Lewis’ teachings in Mere Christianity made me question the topic of morality, why there are goodness and badness in the world, and how the goodness of God lives inside Christians. C.S. Lewis believed in a fact that there was an external force that gave us a moral compass of knowing right from wrong. “Quarrelling means trying to show that the…

chemistry. These books make the reader think through problems to get to one uniform answer. However, how many books make people think about their unique life situations connecting with those within a book. While reading The Screwtape letters by C.S. Lewis there are many specific believable ideas of temptation that can be connected with my life that I found throughout the pages. The first idea is from a line in chapter four, when it says that humans tend to think evil force want to pu twisted…
