Abstract
The monograph is devoted to the question of what kind of language we should use in contemporary apologetics to make Christian message communicable to unbelievers. This question is approached through the work of C.
S. Lewis.
After the introduction and biography of the author, the monograph provides the analysis of Lewis' gnoseological starting points. In this chapter, the author shows that Lewis is able to pay attention to the present accent on subjective perspective without getting trapped in relativism.
The next chapter focuses on Lewis' theory of language. In his view, the theme of myth and metaphor is central.
Together with Lewis, the author comes to the conclusion that human language is metaphorical, but in spite of this, we can still approach the truth. The next chapter is devoted to the theological interpretation of imagination and shows that authentic Christian imagination is an integral part of each good apologetic text.
The last chapter is focused on the genres of apologetics and, based on Lewis' work, presents their benefits and restrictions.
