CSLI - NEOH presents
The Scandalous Evangelism of Dorothy L. Sayers with Dr. Crystal Downing

On November 10th C.S. Lewis Institute Northeast Ohio is excited to co-host with The Center for Christian Faith and Culture at Malone University, as we welcome all to join us as we hear from Prof. Crystal Downing, co-director of the Marion E. Wade Center at Wheaton College, about "The Scandalous Evangelism of Dorothy L. Sayers" and her friendship with C.S. Lewis.

Known today primarily as a leading light of the golden age of detective fiction, Dorothy Sayers also wrote important essays and works of Christian apologia and worldview. Prof. Downing will draw for her talk from her recently published book: Subversive: Christ, Culture, and the Shocking Dorothy L. Sayers. The book explores the various ways Sayers speaks to Christians in the 21st century, from indifferent “nones” to passionate promulgators of polarizing rhetoric. Sayers, the book shows, can shock people into seeing the radically subversive truth of Christian orthodoxy in new ways.

Location: Malone University, Johnson Center 106 | 2600 Cleveland Ave NW, Canton, OH 44709
