    Are The Gates of Hell Locked From The Inside?

    C.S. Lewis famously declared that "the gates of hell are locked from the inside" in his wonderful book "The Great Divorce." In your opinion: Is this view Biblical? Is this view logical?

    The Works of C.S. Lewis And J.R.R. Tolkien General Thread

    Talk about everything related to the works of Lewis and Tolkien and the adaptations of those works. Talk about The Chronicles Of Narnia, The Hobbit, The Lord Of The Rings, ETC.

    CS Lewis on God’s Relation to Time

    I found in Mere Christianity a quote that perfectly reflects my frustrations with some posts which seem to assume God is subject to time, when in fact He created time. Mere Christianity is one of the most widely accepted books of introductory theology, and hopefully CS Lewis might make the...

    2. Apophatic Theology, Doctrinal Development And Schisms

    Apophatic theology, known as the Via Negativa in Latin, and apophatic language involves the use of negations to express divine things, for example, God is unchanging, God cannot be circumscribed, there is no place where God is not, there is nothing that God does not know, and there is no limit...

    How liberal am I, actually? And, the evils of misogyny

    I am apparently considered a liberal, I have found out in the past 24 hours, in part for my Evolutionist interpretation of Genesis ch. 1 and in part because I reject the penal substitutionary atonement and satisfaction atonement of John Calvin and Anselm of Canterbury respectively, as well as...

    A Screwtape Letter for Today

    My dear Wormwood, High Command has given us a most glorious opportunity. At this very moment the Lowerarchy is brewing up a powerful and awesomely great disease in the far reaches of the Orient. “Why, affectionate uncle, should I concern myself with this far-off plague?” you may ask...

    The difference between Catholics and Protestants according to CS Lewis

    "The truth is not that allegory is Catholic, but that Catholicism is allegorical. Allegory consists in giving an imagined body to the immaterial ; but if, in each case, Catholicism claims already to have given it a material body, then the allegorist’s symbol will naturally resemble that material...

    The Missing Page

    Often we see an argument made, a sort of fallacy of association, that because there are different religions and mythologies, this is somehow problematic for the idea of Christian truths. To me, I see it in the opposite light. For man has always had a religious bent, a mythological narrative...

    The Great Divorce by CS Lewis

    This evening I am reading The Great Divorce (I am halfway through it) and it is blowing my mind and freaking me out and all the good stuff that great writers can do to a person on a rainy December evening in suburbia. Am I in hell? Am I a whiner? Do I go around nagging and sighing and...

    Niceness vs Redemption...

    “Niceness — wholesome, integrated personality — is an excellent thing. But we must not suppose that even if we succeeded in making everyone nice we should have saved their souls. A world of nice people, content in their own niceness, looking no further, turned away from God, would be just as...
