Synopsis

Why is it that some of us feel a strange stirring in our hearts when we read about Aslan? Why did some of us think of him as Christlike even before he dies for Edmund? Why do we read the Gospels, and as C. S. Lewis said, encounter a person, or perhaps a personality, of overwhelming familiarity? Lewis called this “Recognition,” and explored how this Recognition, though still an inexplicable mystery, inhabits the unknown theological space between predestination and universalism. When in the Gospel of John, Jesus says, “My sheep know me,” just what does that mean? The disciples on the road to Emmaus caught a lesson in Old Testament prophecy, but they only made sense of it when they recognized Jesus. Did C. S. Lewis underpin his Christology on this mysterious tug many of us feel in our hearts?
