About this video
Runtime: 46 minsJem Bloomfield discusses C.S. Lewis and how he engages with texts in his Narnia series. C.S. Lewis is often celebrated for his Christian apologetics, but he was foremost a literary scholar. His deep engagement with medieval and early modern literature shaped much of his work, including the Narnia series. Lewis saw myth and story as central to both his theology and spiritual journey. Once an atheist, he rediscovered faith through myth, viewing many cultural myths as reflections of the "one true myth"—the story of Christ. This perspective permeates Narnia, where Lewis weaves myth into the fabric of the narrative. He explores ideas of myth, storytelling, and the blending of human and fantastical worlds, enriching Narnia's literary depth.
