Lessons from C.S. Lewis About Reality
with Dr. Jerry Root
Author, retired professor, and a popular speaker at Lewis conferences around the world, Dr Jerry Root has written and taught on topics related to C.S. Lewis for more than 40 years.
One of the biggest ideas in all of Lewis’s books may be his belief that reality is iconoclastic. An iconoclast breaks idols. Dr. Root will trace how this idea reverberates throughout Lewis’s life and published works. During this interactive weekend, Dr Root will uncover three powerful insights from Lewis to help us understand and experience reality.
Session 1 – Considering Men Without Chests in The Abolition of Man
Session 2 – Asking Why, What, How: The Liberal Arts of Logic, Grammar, and Rhetoric
Session 3 – Stealing Past the Watchful Dragons: Imagination as the Organ of Meaning
