C.S. Lewis, Beauty, and the Imagination

C. S. Lewis’s imagination was triggered by his awakening to beauty in his world. In time, he recognised that God was behind beauty and was wooing his creatures to Himself through it. Consequently, in his own literary art, Lewis sought to employ the imagination to awaken and point his readers to God. This talk explores Lewis’s development along these lines in the hopes of encouraging those who attend to benefit from Lewis’s story and discover how, as he crafted his art as a storyteller, he was able to awaken longing in the hearts of his readers.
