C.S. LEWIS: A half-century later
JACKSON, Tenn. (BP) -- C.S. Lewis died the same day as John F. Kennedy 50 years ago. Twenty years before that in the midst of World War II -- before the Normandy invasion when the outcome of the war was still uncertain -- Lewis delivered a series of lectures for the University of Durham that he published as "The Abolition of Man." Had he written nothing else, Lewis would be important for how Christians understand culture because of his analysis of the great change occurring in our culture that, now, almost has come to completion.
