Course on C. S. Lewis and Prayer

Posted on November 19, 2016 by Brenton Dickieson

This week’s feature is a new course by Rev. David Beckmann on C.S. Lewis’ late-in-life book, Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer. This little book, set up as letters to a fictional correspondent where Lewis and Malcolm discuss the idea of Christian prayer, is often forgotten. I think, though, that it has its own unique strengths and can be a powerful and unusual reconsideration of prayer. As my family was walking up to the Kilns in August, we bumped into David on the path, and he told us about the series. It is now live at Teachable.

About Brenton Dickieson

“A Pilgrim in Narnia” is a blog project in reading and talking about the work of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, the Inklings, L.M. Montgomery, and the worlds they created. As a "Faith, Fantasy, and Fiction" blog, we cover topics like children’s literature, myths and mythology, fantasy, science fiction, speculative fiction, poetry, theology, cultural criticism, art and writing. This blog includes my thoughts as I read through my favourite writings and reflect on my own life and culture. In this sense, I am a Pilgrim in Narnia--or Middle Earth, or Fairyland, or Avonlea. I am often peeking inside of wardrobes, looking for magic bricks in urban alleys, or rooting through yard sale boxes for old rings. If something here captures your imagination, leave a comment, “like” a post, share with your friends, or sign up to receive Narnian Pilgrim posts in your email box. Brenton Dickieson (PhD, Chester) is a father, husband, friend, university lecturer, and freelance writer from Prince Edward Island, Canada. Check out my Linktree: https://linktr.ee/brentondickieson
