Course Description

Sanctification, free will, faith, truth: As Christians, many of us have wrestled with and tried to understand these complicated concepts. Countless theologians and authors have dealt with these ideas and attempted their own explanations. C.S. Lewis is one such great theologian and author to do this! Through his use of reasoning and storytelling, Lewis introduced complex, theological concepts in ways that all of us, even children, can begin to explore and understand in an important way. By examining what Lewis has to say about pain, suffering and grief, we will gain a deeper understanding of concepts and terms like sanctification, heaven and hell, apologetics, and reason and what they have to do with the human condition.

In this C.S. Lewis: Truth and Meaning course, you will join Grayson Carter as he journeys with you through C.S. Lewis’s life and writings so that you may better understand and explain your own faith and belief.

We estimate that this will take you about 23 hours to complete (but not all in one sitting!).
