C.S. LEWIS

A SCHOLAR AND A GENTELMAN

C.S. Lewis is a quintessential example of the Mentor archetype because of his lifelong pursuit of truth, his ability to distill complex theological and philosophical ideas into relatable concepts, and his profound influence on others through teaching, writing, and personal relationships.

Some of Lewis’ Mentor practices include:

  • His journey from atheism to Christianity is a testament to his desire to explore, question, and uncover ultimate truths.

  • Lewis’s works, such as The Chronicles of Narnia, embody the Mentor’s gift for translating deep truths into accessible narratives. He used allegory, logic, and relatable examples to guide readers toward spiritual insights.

  • As a professor at Oxford and later Cambridge, Lewis shaped the minds of students through his lectures and personal mentorship.
