Was Belfast native C. S. Lewis (1898–1963) a Christian humanist? I approach this question by revisiting Lewis's critique of Christian humanism in Erasmus, More, Swift, and others. This sets up a contrast between Lewis the critic and Lewis the satirist—I refer particularly to the vein of satire...

520 |a Was Belfast native C. S. Lewis (1898–1963) a Christian humanist? I approach this question by revisiting Lewis's critique of Christian humanism in Erasmus, More, Swift, and others. This sets up a contrast between Lewis the critic and Lewis the satirist—I refer particularly to the vein of satire that surfaces in The Pilgrim's Regress and runs through The Screwtape Letters and That Hideous Strength. I show that Lewis the satirist is indebted to the very same Christian humanists whom he disparages elsewhere. While Lewis's relation to Christian humanism is rife with contradiction, it is nonetheless central to his achievement.
