Three Essays on C. S. Lewis and RomanticismMany readers have heard C. S. Lewiss logical arguments for the Christian faith. Yet throughout his wide-ranging study and writing, Lewis often began with experience, intuition, and religious feeling rather than dogmatic assertions. The most profound questions of Lewiss own life, argues theologian and literary critic Jeffrey Barbeau, can be seen in his quest to understand the relationship between personal experience and the truth about the world around him.In a series of three essays, Barbeau explores the influence of nineteenth-century Romanticism on the writings of C. S. Lewis. Barbeau demonstrates Lewiss indebtedness to Romantic notions of imagination and subjectivity, opens new contexts for understanding ideas about memory and personal identity in his autobiographical writings, and explores beliefs about nature and Christian sacraments throughout his writings on Christian faith. This theological and literary investigation reveals Lewis as a profoundly modern thinker and illuminates his ongoing relevance to contemporary debates about theology and culture.Drawing on extensive reading of the marginalia in the personal library of C. S. Lewis held by the Marion E. Wade Center, Barbeau offers a fresh understanding of the influence of modern theology and Romantic poetry, especially Wordsworth and Coleridge, on many of Lewiss most beloved works. Essays and responses include: C. S. Lewis and the "Romantic Heresy," with response from professor Sarah Borden, C. S. Lewis and the Anxiety of Memory, with response from professor Matthew Lundin, and C. S. Lewis and the Sacramental Imagination, with response from professor Keith L. Johnson. Based on the annual lecture series hosted at Wheaton Colleges Marion E. Wade Center, volumes in the Hansen Lectureship Series reflect on the imaginative work and lasting influence of seven British authors: Owen Barfield, G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, George MacDonald, Dorothy L. Sayers, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams.

A Holistic Vision of Family in Gods KingdomThe Christian world tends to have a blueprint for what families should look like, and these models of the family can be hard to live up to. In some circles, picture-perfect families are idealized and even idolatrized. Many Christians have a gnawing sense that this "traditional family" model is problematic or outdated. But is there an alternative way of understanding family thats neither idolatrous nor revisionist?Theologian Emily McGowin casts a holistic vision for what family can be in light of Gods kingdom. Jesus is our first teacher about families in the kingdom of God, and families rightly understand themselves only in relation to Gods kingdom and the church.In Households of Faith, McGowin recovers biblical portraits of households of faith that are not limited to just the biological nuclear family, that can be multigenerational households of married and single, with or without children, acknowledges the realities of how sin and trauma damages families and communities, and calls Christians to practice family as apprentices to love who discern the times and improvise faithfulness together.

An Artists Look at Theology, Art, and Philosophy Dear Tom,Thanks for writing againand for this unusually philosophical response to my letter! In response: my theology of art is my theology. Period. I think of God as the Artist and all human artists as eternal apprentices. Consequently, all my thinking about God involves the centrality of beauty and the act of making. As Ive said many times, we were made by a Maker to be makers. . . .BruceIn a series of fictional letters, respected artist and educator Bruce Herman passes on wisdom to a younger generation. He explores a wide array of practical, philosophical, and theological issues, such as: What is art versus craft? What is good art? What is the calling of an artist? Of a Christian artist? What do you do when youre stuck in your creative process? How should Christians relate to the contemporary art scene? What is beauty, and how is it relevant in our world? Full of personal stories and behind-the-scene looks at Hermans own artistic process, Makers by Nature also features full-color artwork by Herman and several of his former students. Artists and art lovers will find insight, wonder, and encouragement to consider the Makers invitation to creativity, however it takes shape.

How we respond to those who are deconstructing will reveal the kind of churchand the kinds of Christianswe really are.Ian Harber knows the fear and grief of deconstruction firsthand. In Walking Through Deconstruction, he tells the story of his own process of deconstruction and reconstruction over more than ten years and explores what is actually happening, both culturally and spiritually, when someone deconstructs their faith.Deconstruction doesnt happen in a vacuum; it is catalyzed by a comfortable society, cultural Christianity, compromised churches, and the compounding anxieties of life. But the Christian faith has better to offer. Harber lays out a vision for the kind of faith environment that can foster genuine reconstruction through healthy relationships, robust doctrine, healthy institutions, a better theology of suffering, and the peace of God.Walking Through Deconstruction tells the authors real life story of deconstruction and reconstruction provides a clear definition of deconstruction acknowledges the urgency of deconstruction while prioritizing patience and trust over fear describes common contributing factors and phases of deconstruction, and casts a vision for healthy communities that help people hold onto faith. We desperately need healthy models of ministry to those who are deconstructing. Whether youre a pastor, parent, or friend of someone on this path, Walking Through Deconstruction offers hope for a renewed faithstronger than it was before.
