C.S. Lewis (1898–1963) stands as one of the most influential writers and Christian thinkers of the 20^th century. His written works, including his best-known treatise, Mere Christianity, continue to impact religious philosophy, and his most beloved work of fiction, The Chronicles of Narnia, remain staples of children’s fantasy. Jacob L. Thomas, English PhD student at ISU, will explore the works and influences of this remarkable man. This presentation will include photos from Thomas’s recent trip to England, where he visited Lewis’s Oxford churchyard grave.
