Description
This thesis aims to delve into the multifaceted views of renowned author and theologian C.S. Lewis on the institution of marriage, as presented through his literary works. Although Lewis does not dedicate one single work to the importance of Christian marriage, he does provide various insights throughout his fictional and nonfictional works, which, when considered within his philosophical, moral framework, offer a compelling case for why marital commitment is conducive to helping shape moral individuals regardless of faith or background. This research seeks to synthesize Lewis’ nuanced perspectives on marital relationships through a comprehensive analysis, shedding light on their significance within his broader theological and philosophical framework. The objective of this thesis is not to defend Lewis’ (or the Christian) conception of marriage but merely to attempt to show that his rational arguments, bridging the gap between faith and reason, can appeal to a larger audience.
