Many know C.S. Lewis from his children’s books and the recent movie, The Chronicles of Narnia. Lewis was a prolific author who, as a former atheist, created controversy as well as inspiration. Lewis was a slow convert, moving from atheism to a belief in God to finally a definite Christian. Convinced of the truth of Christianity, Lewis began writing from this perspective. His works include The Chronicles of Narnia, Mere Christianity, and The Screwtape Letters. On Saturday, February 21st, Lord of Life Lutheran Church will hold a workshop on the works of C.S. Lewis led by the Rev. Dr. Joel Heck from ConcordiaUniversity.The Rev. Dr. Joel D. Heck, is a fan and scholar of Lewis. Since 1998, Dr. Heck has served ConcordiaUniversity at Austin as Professor of Theology. He teaches courses in Old Testament, New Testament, Reformation, and the life and writings of C. S. Lewis.He has also served as a pastor, high school teacher, conference speaker, and as Vice President of Academic Services for Concordia. He holds the Doctor of Theology from Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. He is the author or editor of nine books, most of them in the areas of evangelism and assimilation. His most recent book is a reprint of Lewis’s little known collaboration with Cambridge professor E. M. W. Tillyard, The Personal Heresy. Heck has written a full-length book on C. S. Lewis’s educational views, released
in 2006 by Concordia Publishing House under the title Irrigating Deserts: C. S. Lewis on Education.Dr. Heck spent the fall of 2004 on sabbatical in Oxford, working with Walter Hooper, former private secretary to C. S. Lewis, on Vol. III of Lewis’s Collected Letters.
