All invited to special presentation on Lewis’s ‘The Abolition of Man’ this Monday

Tuesday, March 7th, 2023

The Apologetics Initiative and the C. S. Lewis Initiative invite you to a special presentation by Dr. Paul Lorenzini’s, “C.S. Lewis’s The Abolition of Man Eighty Years Later: An Engineer’s Perspective,” at 5 p.m. this Monday, March 13, in Hoover 103.

Eighty years ago, Lewis published his most highly regarded book, The Abolition of Man, in which he critiques the secularization of Western cultures and warns that, unchecked, the consequences for modern humanity are significant and destructive.

By comparing Lewis’s projections with modern cultural critiques, Dr. Lorenzini asks how a revived view of Lewis’s analysis might inform a modern apologetic. All are welcome to join us for this thought-provoking presentation.

Please reach out to Emma Rieth at erieth@georgefox.edu with any questions.

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will be hosting Scholarship Summit on campus today! With around 350 visitors expected, we are asking George Fox students and employees to help extend the Be Known promise throughout the day. Here’s what you can keep in mind:
