Description
This thesis delineates the theological issue of immanence and
transcendence as it is portrayed by C.S. Lewis in The Chronicles of
Narnia. Lewis believed both in an immanent and transcendent supreme
being. The introduction defines the two terms and discusses their
historical development, including Lewis' own conception of their
meanings. The second chapter establishes the relationship between
the question of the progress of history and the issue of immanence
and transcendence. In the third chapter the cognitive validity of
imagination is treated. The function and disfunction of imagination
is discussed. The fourth chapter is concerned with the knowledge of
immanent good and evil as it is revealed to the characters. The
following two chapters show how Lewis emphasized the idea o£ a
transcendent supreme being in order that his characters might be free
to exercise their imaginations,not forgetting to be humble and
obedient.
