Employing a postmodernist literary approach, Kyoko Yuasa identifies C.S. Lewis both as an antimodernist and as a Christian postmodernist who tells the story of the Gospel to twentieth- and twenty-first-century readers. Lewis is popularly known as anable Christian apologist, talented at explaining Christian beliefs in simple, logical terms. His fictional works, on the other hand, feature expressions that erect ambiguous borders between non-fiction and fiction, an approach similar to those typical in postmodernist literature. While postmodernist literature is full of micronarratives that deconstruct the Great Story, Lewis's fictional world shows the reverse: in his world, micronarratives express the Story that transcends human understanding. Lewis's approach reflects both his opposition to modernist philosophy, which embraces solidified interpretation, and his criticism of modernised Christianity. Here Yuasa brings to the fore Lewis's focus on the history of interpretation and seeks a new model.

The written legacy of C.S. Lewis continues to be a rich mine of Christian thought and perspective. And each work continues to be as relevant today as it was at its original publishing.And now, Lewis scholar Louis Markos has done the community of faith a great service by organizing Lewis’s thoughts on a wide scope of subjects pertaining to modernity and postmodernity—on science and the natural world, the new age movement, philosophy, evil and suffering, the arts, and heaven and hell. Lewis Agonistes will make readers work in the same way that Lewis’s writings made them work, forcing them to rethink and examine ideas—to become participants in the agon (or wrestling match) of the twenty-first century.

Modern critics do not consider science fiction and mystery novels to be "serious reading", but Dorothy L. Sayers and C.S. Lewis questioned the boundaries between "popular" and "serious" literature. Both Christian writers critically discuss the spiritual crisis of the modern world in each fiction genre. This paper will discuss Sayers and Lewis from a Christian postmodernist perspective, that is, the acceptance of both human constructions, such as multiple views on genres, and divine revelation, or what transcends the limitations of humanity. Both Sayers and Lewis agreed in terms of their understanding that a writer is limited by human language, but also in terms of their acceptance of the transcendental guidance offered in the interactive relationship with the divine being. The discussion will present Sayers and Lewis as Christian postmodernist writers who re-evaluate generally overlooked genres, begin to argue in their respective genres that gender matters, and introduce the reader to another world beyond the boundaries of the known literary genres. (Contains 9 footnotes.).

The purpose of this dissertation is to explore and to examine the intersections of C. S. Lewis's apologetic with the issues and concerns of postmodernism in such a way that acknowledges and elaborates upon where Lewis's thought and postmodernist thought converge and diverge, and, in so doing, to gain perspective for one's own apologetic response to the claims and critiques of postmodernism. In light of the above purpose statement, the following research question that guides this study is: Are there important intersections between the Christian thought and apologetic of C. S. Lewis and the worldview of postmodernism? If so, what are these intersections? These intersections of thought may include significant areas of convergence between Lewis and postmodernis as well as areas of significant divergence. The explication and analysis of these intersections, with their identified points of convergence and divergence, may enable evangelical Christian apologists to fashion more effective, balanced, and thoughtful responses to postmodernism's claims about and critiques of the Christian faith. After an introductory chapter, the structure of the dissertation as it seeks to accomplish its purpose includes a focused literature review in Chapter Two, with emphasis given to two categories of works: 1) the important books and articles written by Christian scholars about Lewis that address in some fashion postmodern issues and concerns, and 2) those important books and articles written by evangelical Christian scholars that address postmodern claims and challenges to the Christian faith that are in some manner expecially pertinent to Lewis's apologetic. Chapters Three and Four constitute the heart of this study. Chapter Three will explore the areas of convergence between Lewis and postmodernism, giving special attention to the following areas of potentially strong convergence: 1) The dethroning of scientism, rationalism, and naturalism from their places of cultural privilege. 2) The modernist illusion of progress as a false and delusional myth. 3)The importance of community versus modernism's emphasis upon atomistic individualism. 4) The usefulness of story or narrative over other forms of discourse. During this chapter, it will be emphasized that while Lewis and postmodernism may agree on these areas of convergence, they often readically disagree in the why and the how they have come to these points of convergence. Chapter Four, as a counterpoint to Chapter Three, examines the areas of divergence between Lewis and postmodernism, focusing on four possible specific areas of divergence: 1) The reality of objective truth and metanarrative, or Story with a capital S, insisted upon by Lewis and rejected by postmodernism. 2) The relevence of rational discourse, embraced by Lewis and rebuffed by postmodernism. 3)The necessity of universal moral law, asserted by Lewis and refused by postmodernism. 4) The significance of the individual, endorsed by Lewis and denied by postmodernism. Chapter Five, as the concluding chapter, not only summarizes the above arguments but also suggests appropriate implications of the discovered areas of convergence and divergence regarding Lewis and postmodernism that should influence in a positive way the practice of apologetics.

Evangelicals are beginning to provide analyses of our postmodern society, but little has been done to suggest an effective apologetic strategy for reaching a culture that is pluralistic, consumer-oriented, and infatuated with managerial and therapeutic approaches to life. This, then, is the first book to address that vital task. In these pages some of evangelicalism's most stimulating thinkers consider three possible apologetic responses to postmodernity. William Lane Craig argues that traditional evidentialist apologetics remains viable and preferable. Roger Lundin, Nicola Creegan and James Sire find the postmodern critique of Christianity and Western culture more challenging, but reject central features of it. Philip Kenneson, Brian Walsh and J. Richard Middleton, on the other hand, argue that key aspects of postmodernity can be appropriated to defend orthodox Christianity. An essential feature are trenchent chapters by Ronald Clifton Potter, Dennis Hollinger and Douglas Webster considering issues facing the local church in light of postmodernity. The volumes editors and John Stackhouse also add important introductory essays that orient the reader to postmodernity and various apologetic strategies. All this makes for a book indispensable for theologians, a wide range of students and reflective pastors.
