At a Glance

Enjoy a comprehensive survey of C. S. Lewis’ life and work. Led by a noted Lewis scholar, we’ll focus on his extraordinary imagination, his role within the Inklings — a literary discussion group that included J. R. R. Tolkien — and his conversion to Christianity. We’ll discuss how Lewis presented a rational basis for the Christian faith that was powerfully, persuasively and delightfully developed in books and movies that have achieved worldwide popularity.

General Notes

The Retreat Difference: This unique, often basic and no-frills experience at a Road Scholar Retreat includes opportunities for early morning exercise, interaction with the local community for insight into local life, an authentic farm-to-table or locally sourced meal, a live performance or event, and a value-priced single room. Opportunities are available for traveling companions to attend a different program at Montreat during the same week. Due to the nature of this program, listening devices are not available.

OUTSTANDING ! I continue to pray for the restoration of your beautiful site, for all the dedicated people whose diligence has preserved the integrity of programs and for the community effected by the dreadful storms. May God Bless each one of you! Since this is my first year as a 'road scholar' I was hesitant to sign-up for such a singular topic/author/scholar out of concern there might be an obnoxious sense of superiority. Rather, I found the entire program from the leaders of the group to the participants to be the exact opposite. I'm becoming a C.S. Lewis follower. as well as a Roads Scholar supporter. The program's outstanding scholar was inspiring. The combination of his scope knowledge, charming demeanor. and refreshing sense of humor was remarkable. Thank you one and all, MaryKay Ruwe

The instructor is the college professor you wished you'd had. He knew the material, made it interesting, and respected all attendees. The Montreat setting is beautiful -- mountains, a lake, and a hundred-year-old stone retreat center. The week was terrific. If you like C.S. Lewis, it's perfect.

Richard | Woodbridge, VA
The best aspect our trip was our fine instructor, Professor Zach Rhone, who was full of knowledge and enthusiasm for C. S. Lewis and authored a book on the topic. We learned a lot. The mountain inn was fine but dated. A bigger elevator would be nice, and it may be time to install tvs in rooms. The food was mostly good and occasionally very good. Montreat offers a beautiful setting, and we enjoyed the tour of the campus. The evening entertainment was good. We enjoyed Michael Ruiz's piano performance and the Sourwood Ridge Mountain Band. It was helpful to have Wednesday afternoon free so that we could visit Biltmore. We look forward to other Road Scholar programs.

Scott | Burke, VA
I really enjoyed the C S Lewis program held at Montreat. The lectures and discussions helped be better understand how Lewis's life and thought developed. Especially, I got a fresh appreciation for the strategic impact on him of fellow strong intellectuals who were Christians. Montreat is a very pleasant place, wooded but not buggy, with a little stream running through it. Short and long hikes available. Great food, and nice people attending the classes.

After my first Road Scholar experience (The Works of C.S. Lewis at Montreat Conference Center), I am hooked! The class sessions were excellent and very informative, and the whole whole program experience exceeded my expectations. Well organized and well balanced, and held in a beautiful session. Couldn't have asked for anything more.

Don King's "The Life and Works of C.S. Lewis" was an exceptional class. His breadth of knowledge was impressive and his lectures were accessible, educational, and so enjoyable. If you are on the fence about enrolling in this class, I heartily recommend it for both C.S. Lewis novices (like me) or Lewis aficionados.

Dr. Don King was an excellent lecturer on C. S. Lewis. He has interviewed the people who actually knew C. S. Lewis, and has written books on him. I highly recommend this class if you are interested in C. S. Lewis and his literature.

Val – Class of 2019 | Minneapolis, MN
Took the C.S. Lewis life and writings trip. Instructor Dr. Don King was great! So personable and extremely knowledgeable. 40 years experience with Lewis. Working on his ninth book on Lewis and related. His sessions were always interesting. It was as much a launch into continuing an exploration of C.S. Lewis as I could imagine. Never expected it would such an introduction into the world of poetry as it was. The venue, Montreat, and surrounding area were incredible. Got outside as much as possible. Really enjoyed meeting so many interesting people. And that's across all the different courses being held concurrently. Everything was so very well organized!

Susan – Class of 2014 | Atlanta, GA
If you have any interest in CS Lewis, this is a tremendous course presented by an amazing and very well organized instructor. Dr. King's presentations were over the top with regard to the subject matter and presented it in many formats to keep your undivided attention. The Montreat Conf Ctr enhanced our "heady" subject. Great facility. My experience was totally over the top!!
