Epilogue

View through CrossRef
Abstract The Epilogue reflects on Lewis’s influence since his death and confidently predicts that his appeal and importance will remain strong in the third millennium. Readers are attracted to Lewis’s writings because of his literary gifts, winsome personality, and fascinating life story, but his positive, inviting presentation of Christian orthodoxy, in ever so many venues, is very much a part of the attraction as well. Classical orthodoxy was at the heart of Lewis’s understanding of the Christian worldview, which he considered to be the philosophia perennis, the perennial philosophy. For Lewis, this philosophical framework both explains the major phenomena of life and the world and answers the tough questions posed to it. In presenting the Christian worldview, Lewis particularly accents the orthodox doctrines of Trinity and Incarnation, giving them a significance beyond mere perfunctory assent. What is more, Lewis’s long search for truth, spanning two decades of his life, prepared him extremely well for critiquing other worldviews and explaining the credibility of the Christian worldview. Clearly, his ability to articulate the existential side of his search provides a point of personal contact with readers.
