3-part Series: “Latter-day Saint Perspectives on the Life and Writings of C. S. Lewis”
In many ways, C. S. Lewis is every man’s theologian, every woman’s religious writer. Why? Because one could read much of Lewis’s writings and never come away understanding exactly what his particular denomination is. That’s because he writes of “Mere Christianity,” those fundamental truths about Jesus and His gospel that most everyone who claims to be a follower of the Savior could agree on. It’s why one of his books, one of his most doctrinally based works, is entitled Mere Christianity.
October 27, 2021: “Key moments and influential people in the life of C. S. Lewis.”
November 17: “Lewis’s response to the problem of God, evil, and human suffering.”
December 8: “The means by which our Lord transforms the human soul and makes us
into “new creatures in Christ.””

January 12, 2022: “What is the Old Testament?”
February 16: “Abraham and the Covenant.”
March 16: “Moses and the Law.”
April 20: “The Curious and Challenging story of Job.”

September 21: “Isaiah”
October 12: “Jeremiah and Ezekiel”

2-Part Series: Rare Insights into the Life of Brigham Young
October 29, 2021 – “Brigham Young: The Early Years”
In this lecture, learn of Brigham growing up in Vermont and of his search to find religion. Discover that his quest ended when he met Latter-day Saint missionaries and read the Book of Mormon. His willingness to follow a prophet and stand by Joseph Smith in the best and worst of times is a legacy not to be forgotten.
November 19, 2021 – “Brigham Young: The Utah Years”
Brigham left Nauvoo with plans to fulfill Joseph Smith’s prophecy that the Saints would be driven to the Rocky Mountains, and there they would become a mighty people. In the Rockies, Brigham established hundreds of communities. He sent missionaries to the far reaches of our world. His contributions to the West and the Church will be highlighted in this lecture.
