C.S. Lewis for American Roman Catholics, 1936-1947 with Mark Noll

The Marion E. Wade Center presents “C.S. Lewis and American Roman Catholics, 1936-1947” by Dr. Mark Noll, Emeritus Professor of History at Wheaton College and the University of Notre Dame. In his first of three lectures in this academic year’s Hansen Lectureship series, “C.S. Lewis in America: Lessons for Today from the Early American Reception of C.S. Lewis’s Books,” Dr. Noll explores why Roman Catholics were the first to write with appreciation (and at length) about Lewis’s books. A majority of the serious early American response to C.S. Lewis’s books came from Catholics. Appreciative readers included several priest-theologians, the monk Thomas Merton, and Charles Brady (a professor of English), whom Lewis called “the first of my critics so far who has really read and understood all of my books.” Examining these early reviews identifies several particular reasons for their positive response, but also why those reasons remain instructive for Christian witness today. The faculty respondent for this talk is Dr. Karen Johnson, Associate Professor of History, Wheaton College. The Ken and Jean Hansen Lectureship is an annual faculty lecture series named in honor of former Wheaton College trustee Ken Hansen and his wife Jean, and endowed in their memory by son Walter and Darlene Hansen.
