Description: Clives Staples Lewis (1898-1963) called his theological writings as that -of a layman and an amateur- who merely attempted to restate -ancient and orthodox doctrines.- However, S. Steve Park argues that Lewis's theological reflections are well-informed, thoughtful and weighty. For instance, Lewis's notion of -mere Christianity- consistently shows his commitment to -supernaturalism- (vs. naturalism) and -eucatastrophic salvationism- (vs. ethical developmentalism) in sharp contrast to many prevailing theologians of his time.
