From Wittenberg to Oxford:
The Re-formation of CS Lewis and DL Sayers
Martin Luther recognized the power of theater, using drama to communicate the need for Reformation in the Church. After looking at controversies about theater in Luther’s day, focus will turn to Dorothy L. Sayers, also condemned by Christians for her reforming efforts: theatrical works that C.S. Lewis found so profound he read them every year for twenty years, shaping his re-forming of the Gospel message.
Crystal Downing is the former Co-Director of the Marion E. Wade Center at Wheaton College. She is an award-winning author of several books including Writing Performances: The Stages of Dorothy L. Sayers (Palgrave 2004). She received her PhD in English from the University of California at Santa Barbara.
