Every Dante needs a Virgil, a guide to the cosmos and the Great Tradition through which it is revealed to us. In the postmodern age, C.S. Lewis is that guide—our British Boethius who, with one foot in the classical cathedral and another foot in the modern wasteland, serves as a bridge between the worlds, able to translate the riches of the past into the idiom of the present. In the C.S. Lewis Studies Teaching Certificate, we will work systematically through the work of C.S. Lewis, looking to him as a model for how to lead our own students further up and further in to Goodness, Truth, and Beauty through the Lewisian integration of reason, imagination, and virtue.
