DISCOVERING C. S. LEWIS’S LIBRARY: The Enchanting and Sacramental Role of Books (Zoom Option)

June 25, 2025 @ 3:00 pm - June 27, 2025 @ 10:00 am

$150.00 – $466.00

Imagine standing in C. S. Lewis’s personal library as he tells how books enlarged his vision, captured his imagination, and pointed him to Christ. In this workshop, Lewis’s story and the growth of his library are traced, beginning with his first book and early collecting through his academic and writing career, until his library is dispersed near his death. These accounts, combined with Lewis’s views on reading and literature, invite participants to discover the numinous in books, learn through the eyes of others, and experience the same deep joy of seeing God in all of life.

 

Presenter: DR. ROGER WHITE is Professor Emeritus at Azusa Pacific University where he taught in the College of Education, Seminary, and Honors College. He was founding curator of the C. S. Lewis and Inklings Collection in the University’s Rare Books Department. Additionally, White served as lead editor for the book, C. S. Lewis and His Circle: Essays and Memoirs from the Oxford C. S. Lewis Society (Oxford University Press, 2015) and is currently completing a book about rediscovering C. S. Lewis’s library.
