The Medieval Mind of C.S. Lewis

Jason Baxter argues that C.S. Lewis was deeply formed not only by the words of Scripture and his love of ancient mythology, but also by medieval literature. For this undeniably modern Christian, authors like Dante and Boethius provided a worldview that was relevant to the challenges of the contemporary world. The event is open to everyone, including people interested in the Inklings, for a conversation on the medieval writers who helped form the mind of Lewis. Hannah Eagleson, InterVarsity’s Emerging Scholars Network Associate Director and early modern literature scholar, will host this conversation.
