Reclaim Apocalypse as a Mode of Wisdom and Wonder
Discover the connections between the apocalyptic literature of Scripture and the imaginative worlds crafted by one of Christianity's most beloved authors in C. S. Lewisand the End of the World.
This innovative exploration from Old Testament scholar Aubrey Buster delves deep into the creative worlds Lewis constructed, examining how his fictional worlds echo the cosmic struggles between good and evil thatdefine some of Scripture's most vivid literature. In response to the disenchantments of modernity, Lewis drew from the biblical genre of apocalyptic literature, where monsters embody evil, heroes emerge to faithfully confront them, and a story's ending transfigures sorrow not by denying it but by revealing a glory beyond comprehension.
Through close readings of Lewis's Space Trilogy, The Chronicles of Narnia, The Great Divorce, key essays, and previously unpublished marginal notes from other works in Lewis's personal library, Buster traces how Lewis reclaims the apocalyptic as a mode of Christian wisdom and wonder.
What you'll find in C. S. Lewis and the End of the World:
- An exploration of the apocalyptic villains in both biblical literature and Lewis's fiction, and the heroes who rise to confront them.
- Illumination of biblical themes in Lewis's writings and the enduring power of imaginative literature.
- Responses from scholars Danielle Corple, John Walton, and Esau McCaulley.
This book is perfect for Lewis enthusiasts, scholars of biblical apocalyptic literature or literary studies, and anyone interested in the relationship betweentheology and the arts. For those eager to explore the power of apocalyptic and imaginative writing, this book offers fresh insights into Lewis's classic written worlds.
