Classes are available to take live or self-paced. Self-paced classes are recordings of the live sessions, allowing the students to view on their own time. Because classes are discussion based, students choosing the self-paced option will have access to a class forum where they can participate in asynchronous discussion threads. Students choosing to take a live class will also have access to recordings and discussion threads.
Because classes are highly-interactive, students are required to turn on their videos for the duration of the class and function as full participants in class. Students should have access to a computer or laptop (rather than a phone) with a quality camera and microphone for Zoom access. In case of circumstances in which a student cannot attend a class, please notify the instructor before missing class.
Literature of C.S. Lewis
C.S. Lewis is one of the most prolific and well-regarded writers of the 20th century. With writings ranging from fiction, children’s literature, fantasy, science fiction, criticism, theology, and apologetics, Lewis offers a literary and intellectual feast. In this course we will read and discuss several of his major works along with a few essays, considering specifically the themes of desire (or Sehnsucht), imagination, and objective truth v. relativism that run throughout his writings.
