OROTHY SAYERS was one of the most prophetic voices of the twentieth century. She warned Christians who were bored with biblical teaching that the dogma is the real drama, the meaning of life, the creed keeping us from the chaos. The following excerpt is from “The Greatest Drama Ever Staged”
OLKIEN was no stranger to suffering. Tolkien lost both parents as a child. He served in War War I as a young man. His real life experiences gave him a framework for his stories with the beauties of the Shire contrasted with the evils of Gollum, Goblins, Smaug, and the Eye of Sauron.
NYTIME there is national or international turmoil we rightly revaluate our priorities. How should we consider education when other matters loom large? C.S. Lewis responded to this question in a sermon he preached in 1939 in the early stages of War World II.
.K. CHESTERTON once said, “the tendency of recent culture has been to tolerate the smile but discourage the laugh.” It’s not that G.K.C didn’t like smiling, he simply didn’t prefer it over laughter. Here’s why.
.S. Lewis used a variety of methods to share the gospel with a popular audience.

OW are we to make sense of humanity in our day. Neuroscientists often reduce humans to brains, leaving no room for personhood. Philosophers regularly deny the will, rejecting the idea that humans can make real, meaningful decisions, and thus have moral accountability. Scientists often discount immaterial human values and regard them as illusions.
