“I believe
in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it,
but because by it I can see everything else.”
- C. S.
Lewis, “Is Theology Poetry”
Despite being
illumined by Mere Christianity in the early ’90s and enjoying the first two
books of his Space Trilogy (particularly the first, Out of the Silent Planet),
I never could groove to his writing style. A fault of mine, mind you, not
of the great writer’s. I tried my hand with other works of his unsuccessfully, most
recently The Problem of Pain a few weeks’ ago. He makes so much more
sense, and resonates much more strongly with me, in little quotations such as the one above.
Might post one here every now and then.
