Take Home Essay Topic #2.
2) In an introduction to a broadcast given on
January 11th of the published text, Lewis explains why he was chosen to give the
talks: “...first of all because I’m a layman and not a parson, and consequently
it was thought I might understand the ordinary person’s point of view a bit
better. Secondly, I think they asked me because it was known that I’d been an
atheist for many years and only became a Christian quite fairly recently. They
thought that would mean I’d be able to see the difficulties – able to remember
what Christianity looks like from the outside.” Do you think Lewis has
succeeded in representing the ordinary person’s view of Christianity? In what
ways might his atheism and later conversion have affected his relationship to
Christian beliefs? Do his convictions gain weight because he struggled to
arrive at them?
Some pointers:
Remember final exams are two hours with an additional hour if needed, but this time given is to answer all essay topics from all CS modules. Give yourself, then, the appropriate amount of time for this essay. There is no word limit, but it is a final exam.
You do not need to submit a paper copy unless you want to as I do not make notes on final exams. Marks are given, recorded and exams are kept by the teacher. All papers must come in no later than 9:10 on Tuesday morning. rloconte@carverchristian.org
Once I have recorded all your marks for this module, I will give you a paper copy of your mark for this module.
It has been great starting Christian Studies with you and best wishes in your next three modules.
