| Summary: | Based on Jung's psychological theory and the Christian perspective that predominates Lewis' imagination, this article explores a psychology of religion manifested in Lewis' work through investigating the protagonist's psychic process toward self-growth in personality and spirituality. In this mythic novel, the real space for the human being to "see" the truth of selfhood and transcendence is located within the psyche, the very "sacred space" for the meeting of the self with the divine. |
