Is Theology Poetry? (essay)

Details

This month we're planning to read aloud Lewis's essay "Is Theology Poetry?", an essay that was originally presented in 1944 at the Oxford debating society called the "Socratic Club". The essay argues that Christian theology may be poetic, but it is not merely poetry -- it is poetry because it is true, not true because it is poetic.

Franci and I will put on a nice spread of food and drink to go with the evening. If you are willing and able to contribute a small donation, we'll have a koha/donation jar (you can also transfer to our bank account 11-7116-0034925-00 / Benjamin Hoyt). Suggested donation $5, but no obligation if you're not in a position to or would just rather not.

I am limiting it to 15 attendees due to space reasons in our living room, so please do RSVP. :-)

If you're new, welcome! Our address will be provided privately when you RSVP (we'd rather not post our home address publicly here). If you don't receive a message on Meetup, text Ben on 022 341 2746.
