The Third Austin C.S. Lewis Conference

Goodness, Truth and Beauty: Apologetics and The Winsome Christ

April 29, 2006 at St. Edward’s University (Austin, Texas)

The Fellows of the Hill Country Institute for Contemporary Christianity and volunteers organizing this conference invite you to join us for a glorious time of stimulating thought, artistic beauty, and fellowship with others who are friends on the journey.

The Third Austin C.S. Lewis Conference will feature internationally known speakers, artistic interludes, meals accompanied by live music, a panel discussion featuring the speakers, and a play about the life of C.S. Lewis.

C.S. Lewis is our guide and friend as we move forward to walk by faith. He set a tone of thought provoking Christianity and of reason informed by faith. Lewis expressed the desire for beauty, awe, and mystery that we long to have fulfilled. It is in this tradition that we offer this conference. As in past conferences (2002 and 2004) organized by our team, it is a gathering place for friends who share these interests and of course for all Narnians.

This locally organized event will feature William Lane Craig speaking on Truth in the Christian message, Peter Kreeft speaking on Goodness as an apologetic, and Frederica Mathewes Green speaking on Beauty as a representation of God’s creativity, reality, and mystery, and David Payne performing An Evening with C.S. Lewis.

My wife and I have been to a couple of these conferences and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Read the rest of the conference description, and register on the Institute's web site; the registration fee is $60 through Feb, 28, $75 from March 1 through April 20, and $85 thereafter (an incentive so they can get an early headcount, I presume).

Trust me - it is worth the money (and I have no personal stake in the matter.) Be there or be square!
