C.S. Lewis, himself a layperson in the Church of England, has
exercised an unprecedentedly wide influence on the faithful of
Anglican, Roman Catholic, Evangelical and other churches, all of
whom tend naturally to claim him as one of their own. One of the
reasons for this diverse appropriation is the elusiveness of the
church in the sense both of his own denomination and of the wider
subject of ecclesiology in Lewis writings. The essays contained in
this volume critically examine the place, character and role of the
Church in Lewis life. The result is a detailed and scintillating
picture of the interactions of one of the most distinctive voices
in twentieth-century theology with the contemporaneous development
of the Church of England, with key concepts in ecclesiology, and
with interdenominational matters.
Description: C. S. Lewis--On the Christ of a Religious Economy. II.
Knowing Salvation, opens with a discussion of the Anscombe-Lewis
debate (the theological issues relating to revelation and reason,
Christ the Logos). This leads into Lewis on the Church (the body of
Christ) and his understanding of religion: how is salvation enacted
through the churches, how do we know we are saved? This concludes
with, for Lewis, the question of sufferance and atonement,
substitution and election, deliverance and redemption: heaven,
hell, resurrection, and eternity--Christ's work of salvation on the
cross. What did Lewis say of humanity in relation to God, now
Immanuel, God with us, incarnate, crucified, resurrected, and
ascended for humanity? What of Lewis's own death, and that of his
wife? What does this tell us about the triune God of Love, who is
Love? This volume forms the second part of the third book in a
series of studies on the theology of C. S. Lewis titled C. S.
Lewis: Revelation and the Christ. The books are written for
academics and students, but also, crucially, for those people,
ordinary Christians, without a theology degree who enjoy and gain
sustenance from reading Lewis's work. www.cslewisandthechrist.net
