| Summary: | The aim of this paper is to analyze the particular meaning C. S. Lewis assigns to reality from a sacramental perspective, focusing on four key realities: Christ, the Church, humanity, and the world. Through specific examples from his works, the article demonstrates how Lewis interprets all of creation as a sacrament, a novel idea in the existing scholarship on the author. Lewis perceives the elements of the visible world as signs pointing to a deeper reality, their Creator, thus participating in a Christian tradition linked to medieval theology. The study is divided into two parts: the first explores Lewis’s definition and conceptualization of the sacrament, and the second applies this concept to the aforementioned sacramental realities. The conclusion asserts that, for Lewis, all of creation functions as a sacrament, with a hierarchy among its elements, as each reflects the divine imprint left by the Creator. |
