C. S. Lewis & the Challenge of the 21st Century
Dates: Jan 25, 2008 - Jan 26, 2008
Hosted by: New College Madison
From the conference announcement:
C. S. Lewis was an inspiration and a help to many during the late twentieth century, and many suspect that he may be equally helpful in the twenty-first century. Where is C. S. Lewis's thought helpful to us as we face the problems of the twenty-first century, and where does his thought need to be supplemented, extended, or challenged?
You won't want to miss this exciting and important conference!
