Men Without Chests: Lewis, Relativism, and the Soul of Christianity

It’s C.S. Lewis week here at Faithlife! We’re celebrating the scholar’s life and writings, and with that, discounting the 30-volume C.S. Lewis Collection for one week only.
This is a repost from Faithlife staff member Daniel Motley who reflects on Lewis’ warnings against relativism.

C.S. Lewis is one of the modern Christianity’s greatest writers. Whether a pastor or a layperson, believers have sought counsel with Lewis regarding depression, spiritual warfare, or simply to increase their faith in Jesus. His most famous works, including Mere Christianity and The Screwtape Letters, are appreciated for their humor and defense of the Christian faith. However, in recent years, his work The Abolition of Man has not received attention like his other, more accessible writings. Christians should heed Lewis’ warnings against the rising tide of relativism that is sweeping the world.

C.S. Lewis’ Ingenious Apologetic of Longing

It’s C.S. Lewis week here at Faithlife! We’re celebrating the scholar’s life and writings, and with that, discounting the 30-volume C.S. Lewis Collection for one week only.

This is a repost from Faithlife Staff member Daniel Motley on the idea of sehnsucht, which appeared repeatedly in Lewis’ writing.

For C.S. Lewis, the acclaimed Christian apologist and author, a permanent sense of longing characterized his deepest held beliefs about Christianity. He identified this feeling with the idea of sehnsucht, a German word meaning “longing” or “desire.” Sehnsucht appeared in many of Lewis’ favorite works of literature, including Norse mythology, the poems of Wordsworth, and the children’s stories of George Macdonald. It was “that unnameable something, desire for which pierces us like a rapier at the smell of a bonfire, the sound of wild ducks flying overhead, the title of The Well at the World’s End, the opening lines of Kubla Khan, the morning cobwebs in late summer, or the noise of falling waves.”
