C.S. Lewis and Reaching Others Through Mission
First Congregational Church, Naples, FL

As a professional Medievalist and Oxford and Cambridge academic, C.S. Lewis’s literary commitments shaped the way he understood culture. What he believed and the convictions he developed around his academic study enabled him to better speak to his own time and his work has transcending value that can assist us in our own day as we deal with the challenges before us. Furthermore, his vision for literature and tradition can be of great assistance to anyone engaged in cross-cultural ministries. What does Lewis have to say to us in these matters and, furthermore, what does he have to say making it possible for the Christian to engage in evangelism in a pluralistic, multicultural age?
