“Your crooked heart”: Literary Study and Spiritual Formation (Scholar’s Call)

November 16, 2015 by Angela O'Neal 3 Comments

John Runciman, King Lear in the Storm, 1767 Act III of Shakespeare's King Lear gets to me every time. Lear, spectacularly blinded by pride and bereft of power in his old age, having foolishly exiled one daughter and exposed himself to betrayal by the other two, retreats into a storm with his Fool and descends into madness, shaking his fist at nature, railing,  “Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! Rage! Blow!” … [Read more...] about “Your crooked heart”: Literary Study and Spiritual Formation (Scholar’s Call)

April 14, 2011 by Tom Grosh IV 2 Comments

Just finished reading C.S. Lewis' The Horse and His Boy with one of my girls. What did she learn? To listen to the Lion, i.e., God Beware of pride How about these as Lenten lessons? In my  April 1  reading of    The Business of Heaven:   Daily Readings from C.S. Lewis (C.S. Lewis, Walter Hooper. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. 1984), I was reminded  of C.S. Lewis' focused thoughts on "The Great Sin" of pride/self-conceit (Mere Christianity. MacMillan, 1975, Book III, Chapter 8).
