April 1, 2005
1:00 pm
Presentation: Baptized Imaginations, Transformed Minds, Surrendered Hearts: The Theology of the Chronicles of Narnia
C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia were written in order to help people as young as twelve years old experience what he called the baptism of the imagination or the liberation of true Christian feelings. Dr. Ford will discuss why Lewis wrote these seven books, why it is important for our feelings and our imaginations to be converted, how to read the Chronicles with the heart, and point out their major themes.
