Book Launch for Splendour in the Dark: C. S. Lewis’s Dymer in His Life and Work
Author and Professor of Evangelism Jerry Root and Wade Center Co-director David C. Downing discuss this fourth volume in the Hansen Lectureship series. Several years before he converted to Christianity, C.S. Lewis published a narrative poem, DYMER, under the pseudonym Clive Hamilton. Dr. Jerry Root contends that Lewis’s early poem not only sheds light on the development of Lewis’s literary skills, but it also offers a glimpse of what was to come in his intellectual and spiritual growth—a “splendour in the dark.” In addition to Dr. Jerry Root’s three Hansen talks with their faculty responses, this volume includes the complete text of DYMER with annotations by Dr. David C. Downing.
