C.S. Lewis's enlightened, foundational respect for the Jews as
God's chosen people is a feature in much of his apologetic and
theological writing. Although as a boy and young man Lewis
reflected much of the implicit anti-Semitism inherent in the
public-school-educated Edwardian establishment, this was replaced
by deep respect when he became a Christian. Later on, Lewis's
understanding was much enhanced by his wife, Joy Davidman (m.
1956); born to American Jewish parents, she was an adult convert to
Yeshua Ha Mashiach - Jesus Christ - and Lewis referred to her as a
Jewish Christian. A Hebraic Inkling examines in depth this
Jewish-Hebrew influence in Lewis' life and works. Analysing some of
his key writings in theology, philosophy, literature and
apologetics, his rigorous stand against anti-Semitism and affinity
for Jewish literature and culture is outlined, as well as his
vision of how Christians are enfolded into the chosen people. This
respect and affinity extended to Lewis' own family; when one of
Joy's children sought to return to his mother's birth-faith, Lewis
moved all to accommodate his wishes and raise him as a Jew, after
Joy's untimely death.
