The Heavens are Telling the Glory of God:
C. S. Lewis, Narnia, and the Planets
Date: Tuesday, April 10
Time: 7:30 p.m.
Location: Glass Hall 101
Please join us for a free public lecture with Dr. Michael Ward
Millions of people have been captivated by C. S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia—but some questions about them have been difficult to answer. Why are there seven books? Why are only three of them obviously structured around biblical narratives? Many have attempted to discover the organizing key, the “secret code,” of the Chronicles, but it has remained a mystery—until now. Michael Ward reveals the single subject that links all seven novels. He explains how Lewis structured the series, why he kept the code secret, and what it shows about his understanding of the universe and the Christian faith. Scholars have hailed Ward’s discovery as the most ground-breaking work ever done on the Chronicles of Narnia, and once you know it, you will never read them in the same way again.
