Hi you four,
I need to please, have these questions done for Friday's Bible class (due November 18th). They should be a short paragraph each in length. Type written, please.
- Lewis begins to explore the meaning of his experiences of “Joy.” What did he conclude?
- What did the writer-philosopher Owen Barfield (whom Lewis called “the wisest and best of my unofficial teachers”20) believe about the imagination?
- What were some of the influences that changed Lewis’s worldview?
- Lewis’s worldview shifted from spiritual to scientific and back during adulthood, while Freud never wavered in his embrace of the scientific worldview. What role did their chosen fields play in their choices? Why did Lewis waver? Why didn’t Freud?
Miracles
- As an atheist, Lewis regarded the Bible stories as myth. What was your first reaction to biblical teachings? How has it held up or not held up?
- Are miracles possible in the “scientific” or secular worldview? Explain your answer.
- What is the role of mythology in Freud’s thinking? Why does Freud regard the spiritual worldview as childish? “The whole thing is so patently infantile, so foreign to reality, that to anyone with a friendly attitude to humanity it is painful to think that the great majority of mortals will never be able to rise above this view of life.”
- Why did it matter to Lewis whether the New Testament was historically accurate?
