C. S. Lewisianism, or simply Lewisianism, is the ideology representing the British writer and Christian lay theologian Clive Staples "C. S." Lewis, known for works of Christian apologetics including The Screwtape Letters and Mere Christianity, as well as a children's fantasy series called The Chronicles of Narnia.
History
[edit]Clive Staples Lewis was born in Belfast, Ireland, in the year 1898. As a young boy, he described a deep longing he felt throughout most of his life, which he called "Joy." Latter, he moved back to England, where he attended boarding school, where he slowly came to the conclusion that all this "Joy" business was nothing more then silly childishness that he should kept to himself. As a young man, despite being raised File:Angtheo.png Anglican, he soon became an atheist under the influence of a private tutor who he greatly respected. After fighting in WW1, he completed his studies. He eventually met
J. R. R. Tolkien, and began reading authors like George McDowell and G. K. Chesterton, who began to slowly turn his mind back towards Christianity. Eventually, he became a theist, and soon after, a Christian. He went on to teach at Oxford and write many books including The Screwtape Letters, Mere Christianity, and most famously, a set of children's fantasy stories called The Chronicles of Narnia.
Personality
[edit]Lewisianism is a rather polite, peaceful ball, often seen reading, writing, smoking his pipe, or talking with friends. He is a devout Christian and Anglican, who enjoys thinking about Christianity and the Bible. He doesn't desire to force his religious values onto others, but is willing to defend his views by reasoning to the best of his ability. His main faults are that he can sometimes be too hard on people, especially himself, and that he holds some rather views regarded by many as old-fashioned or regressive, such as that wives ought always to obey their husbands, and that homosexuality is a perversion.
Relationships
[edit]Friends:
[edit]
Natural Law Theory - Where my ethics come from.
Enviromentalism - It is our duty to care for the natural world.- File:PCB-Thomism.png Thomism - One of the great Christian philosophers.
Distributism - Chesterton was a big influence on me.
Paternalistic Conservatism - "A Christian society would be what we now call Leftist... If there were such a society in existence and you or I visited it, I think we should come away with a curious impression. We should feel that its economic life was very socialistic and, in that sense, ‘advanced,’ but that its family life and its code of manners were rather old fashioned." - Mere Christianity
Progressive Conservatism - “Chronological snobbery is the uncritical acceptance of the intellectual climate common to our own age and the assumption that whatever has gone out of date is on that account discredited. You must find why it went out of date." - Surprised by Joy- File:Social Progressive-Conservatism.png Social Progressive-Conservatism - Quite a pleasant combination.
Christian Democracy - You sum up my political views quite nicely just remember not to force Christian social values onto non-believers.
Tolkienism - A good friend of mine.
Frenemies:
[edit]- File:Angtheo.png Anglican Theocracy - I'm a devout member of the Church of England, but we should never push our value on others.
Pagan Theocracy - I'm drawn to this, but I know I shouldn't practice it. Pagan myth is beautiful, but it should never detract us from the truth.
Fantasyism - Tempting, but I'll stick with reality, thank you very much.
Enemies (still love them):
[edit]
Feminism - You would be much happier if you just obeyed your husband.
LGBTism - I suppose it's less letters than "sodomite".
Totalitarianism - No institution can be trusted with absolute power.
National Socialism - You bombed my home and killed millions.
Satanic Theocracy - Hello Screwtape. It's been a while, hasn't it?
