CUL 7301 (WINTER 2026) - The Inklings
3 credits
Perhaps the most valuable gift the Oxford Inklings—C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Charles Williams, and others—have given us is a common grammar with which to bridge theology with imagination, worship, wonder, and adventure. This course will explore these writers alongside their influential 19th-century precursors, George MacDonald and G.K. Chesterton, tracing how they have helped baptize our imagination to recognize truth, goodness, and beauty in the strangest of places.
