 note = {P(論文), This study is a step to a systematic presentation of C. S. Lewis's Escatology. In this paper, however, I confined myself to the doctrine of the Second Coming discussed in Lewis's 'The World's Last Night.' In part I, I made a brief survey of Escatology in the history of the Western World so that we could grasp the heart of the doctrine and issues. As far as I can judge from an overview of a history of the doctrine of the Second Coming, it seems to me that in the foreground are the guess for the definite date of the Second Coming, the pros and cons about the millennialism, and the emphasis upon the Last Judgement. Part II is a thoroughgoing analysis of 'The World's Last Night.' According to this essay, in the first place, he accepts as a supernaturalist the doctrine of the Second Coming. Secondly, he points out the theoretical and practical grounds for modern embarrassment about this doctrine. The theoretical embraces the problem of the apocalyptic nature of Jesus's predictions of the Second Coming, the mistaken prediction and the confession of his ignorance about the end of the world, and the uncongeniality of the doctrine to the whole evolutionary or developmental character of modern thought. The practical includes the fact that the doctrine led Christians into very great follies about the guess of 'the Day' and that the doctrine has been pressed upon our minds with the purpose of exciting fear. Lewis argues against these views by making the most of his stable logic and brilliant usage of language full of appropriate metaphors and analogies, presenting us with a convincing interpretation of the doctrine of the Second Coming. My conclusion is that Lewis was rather concerned with Endgeschichtliche escatology than realized escatology, and that his escatology encourages our cultural activities and maintains moral values without disregard or denial of this world.},
