A Hebraic Inkling

An apologist, philosophical theologian, and Oxford academic, C. S. Lewis valued the Jewish religious tradition. Underpinning Lewiss corpus is an enlightened, foundational respect for the Jews as Gods chosen people.Much of Lewiss mature understanding came from his wife, Joy Davidman (Lewis referred to her as a Jewish Christian), born to American Jewish parents; she was an adult convert to Yeshua Ha Mashiach--Jesus Christ.A Hebraic Inkling, examines this Jewish-Hebrew heritage in Lewiss life and works, by analyzing key texts: theological and philosophical, literary and apologetic, biblical. As a boy and young man he reflected much of the implicit anti-Semitism inherent to the public school educated Edwardian establishment; this is replaced by deep respect when he became a Christian. Along with the Hebrew Scriptures, we examine Lewis on Hebraic poetry (Reflections on the Psalms), the The Incarnation Nation, the Messiah in the Hebrew scriptures, supersessionism, Israel, his rigorous stand against anti-Semitism, and how Christians are enfolded into the chosen people.With marriage revelation gets deeply personal: a familial witness. When one of Joys children--David--sought to return to his mothers birth-faith, Lewis moved all to accommodate his wishes and raise him as a Jew, after Joys untimely death.
