About the course
On a list of books that most influenced C. S. Lewis, The Consolation of Philosophy is number seven. This early Medieval philosophical masterpiece also made an impression on a number of later Medieval and Renaissance authors. This is an important classic that deserves a wider readership among Christians in the modern world. Using any translation, we will discuss the specific books and chapters listed below. Several insightful interpretive questions will be provided a few days before the live discussion session to enhance our live conversations.
