(#11) Outside Reading:
Mere Christianity
Before taking this class I had only ever read The Magicians Nephew. I read this book
in high school and had to write a paper about all the hidden Christian
symbolism that it possesses. After writing a paper about this book in tenth
grade I just assumed that all of C.S Lewis’s books were about Christianity.
After taking this class I found Lewis to be a very interesting person and I
wanted to read more of his books. I ordered his book called Mere Christianity. I was shocked to
discover that Lewis once was an atheist. This was so shocking for me because I
knew that The Chronicles of Narnia
had hidden Christian symbolism in it. Lewis converted to Christianity because
of all the terrible things he saw that happened during WWI and WWII. The book
explores morality and ethics of Christianity. I really enjoyed learning about
how Lewis views Christianity, because it gave me a greater appreciation for the
hidden Christian symbolism in The
Chronicles of Narnia.
