The C.S. Lewis and Inklings Society is now accepting registrations for its twelfth annual meeting on March 26-28, 2009, addressing the theme “Inklings: Dinosaurs or Contemporaries?” and featuring plenary speaker Peter Schakel. See below for more details. Please click here to see the seminar schedule (as a PDF). A detailed schedule will be available mid-February.
In papers and plenary sessions, the conference will explore ways in which C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Owen Barfield and Charles Williams may (or may not) be particularly relevant to the literary, theological, philosophical and socio-political issues of our own early 21st century times.

If you have ever read The Lion, the witch, and the wardrobe then you know how brilliant C.S. Lewis was. Clive Staples Lewis wrote so many great works that it is hard to compare him to other authors. He wrote both fiction and great logical works to show the greatness of God and his writings did just that.
This conference features speakers that have studied his work as well as a few who knew the man. They delve into his mind to talk about his love for God and his desire to proclaim God’s grandeur.
Session 1: Walter Hooper (Literary Adviser)
Session 2: Bruce Edwards (Editor of: C.S. Lewis, his life, work, and ministry)
Session 3:Walter Hooper (Literary Adviser)
Session 4: James Como (Author of Remembering C.S. Lewis)
