Could Our Education Be Ruining Us?

An African Engagement with C.S. Lewis

C.S. Lewis, one of Oxford University’s most influential professors and Christian thinkers, warned that education detached from objective truth and virtue would ultimately hollow out the human soul. Considering key aspects of Lewis’s life and drawing from his prophetic work The Abolition of Man, this conference explores whether contemporary African education is forming wise and morally grounded citizens or merely producing skilled individuals without character.

The speakers engage Lewis’s insights alongside African realities to consider how Christian education can recover a vision of forming whole persons - mind, heart, and character - for the flourishing of church and society in Africa.

This event was hosted at: African Bible University, Lubowa (Uganda)
