CS Lewis on Joy

Published on: 1st March, 2025

What is joy?

Welscome back to My Seminary Life. In today's episode, I conclude our trilogy of CS Lewis episodes talking about how he understood the concept of joy. As I prepare, and partially rewrite, my sermon on Psalm 30, and with the Lenten season of introspection and grief ahead of us, I thought it would be good to set out to better understand what joy is. As we look at Lewis' some what mystical understanding of joy, and match that to Psalm 30 seeing it as a partial result of processing sorrow, we are left in a place where we are called to be in the moment of life rather than trying to chase certain feelings and specific outcomes.
