Hillsdale College Launches New Online Course: “C.S. Lewis on Christianity”
HILLSDALE, Mich. — Hillsdale College announces its newest online course, “C.S. Lewis on Christianity.” The free course, released May 17, is taught by Dr. Michael Ward, a C.S. Lewis scholar and distinguished teaching fellow at Hillsdale College.
“We are thrilled that Dr. Ward is teaching our second course on C.S. Lewis,” says Kyle Murnen, director of Online Learning. “He offers brilliant insight into Lewis’s main arguments about the Christian faith and Lewis’s own experiences with faith, doubt, suffering, and joy.”
Dr. Ward previously taught in Hillsdale’s online course “An Introduction to C.S. Lewis: Writings and Significance,” which has over 500,000 enrollments.
“C.S. Lewis is one of the best modern writers at explaining the truth and goodness of the Christian faith,” says Murnen. “Through his imaginative and invigorating style, Lewis answers the eternal questions of theology in a manner that attracts those outside Christianity and strengthens those within the faith.”
“C.S. Lewis on Christianity” examines his writings about faith and traces Lewis’s own journey from skeptic to believer. The seven-lecture course begins with an introduction by Hillsdale College President Larry P. Arnn and includes lessons on the following topics:
- faith and reason
- good and evil
- conversion and new life
- enjoyment and contemplation
- prayer and the Bible
- suffering and death
- heaven and hell
