The Apologetics of C.S. Lewis

I came across this article from Break Point (Chuck Colson's broadcast and newsletter). The writer was at the same conference I attended in Oxford during my sabbatical. She and I would agree that the best presentation was by Alister McGrath who spoke on the three aplogetic methods of Lewis. She highlights the 3rd - that of the Appeal to the Imagination (where Narnia comes in, of course.) The 1st was the Appeal to Reason ( ala Mere Christianity) and the 2nd was the appeal to Human Longing (as seen in his autobiography, Surprised By Joy, and the brilliant sermon, The Weight of Glory.)

Her article is a great encouragement to the artists among us. It's called A Love to Tell the Story: C. S. Lewis and the Power of Imagination, by Lori Smith.
