What if Lewis were alive today?

Yes. I heard Doug Gresham speak off the cuff, and then the following day we saw a recorded interview [because the poor man couldn't attend as the main speaker, due to food poisoning!] in which he gave some of the same material, so I think he has basically got some standard answers to the usual questions!

Monica, I could send you my [slightly limited] notes of the main speakers, if you like... just PM.

He would very likely be saddened but not too surprised at the knowledge level of the typical MA/MS grad (about 25 yrs old). I don't think he would be as surprised at all at the ed level of average high school grad Joe, so much - he wrote about it in both Abolition of Man and the Screwtape Letters.

To respond to Jo's comment on the 60's, I would recommend the reading of a similar thinker, (Fr) Alexander Schmemann, Between Utopia and Escape.

Hi everybody,
I am new around here. But the variety on CS Lewis blows my mind:) Thank you for having such an awesome site.
To answer the question if Lewis were alive.
I would take him out, pack a picnic, find a mountain top with a view, and talk to him... with a mindset of 'futher up and further in'. I would just dive and swim in all his wisdom and imagination.

Further up and Further in:)

Check this out -- The Problem of Pain new book cover. Does anyone know if that's Lewis himself (swimming)?

I've always wondered if it isn't him on the cover. But I can't say.
