A man will guess where his morals come from. What is right and what is wrong‚ what is good and what is bad. Some may say these are acquired‚ but then why would every civilization to ever come about have similar morales? “For example‚ some people wrote to me saying‚ ‘Isn’t what you call the Moral Law simply our herd instinct and hasn’t it been developed just like all our other instincts?’ (Lewis 19) The book Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis goes into great depth into what morals are. The book covers

In Narnia‚ the children grow up in what appears to be a sheltered world. The four children in the real world are isolated and away from the reality‚ which is a world of war and devastation.

Since the children were so oblivious of what their world actually was‚ their perception was frozen and they were unable to see what was truly going on. As the novel progresses‚ the four realize that there is a war‚ and as they

A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic—on a level with a man who says he is a poached egg or else

Humanity is in danger of dying. According to C.S. Lewis‚ this humanity is not simply the existence as a biological species‚ but is instead founded upon the capacity to understand the objective values of the world. So‚ as the traditional values of the world are shunned‚ as they die‚ humanity will die as well.

In the grand scheme of humanity‚ much of its existence has been spent pondering just how much control a God could even have in a world that has given so much trouble and torment to the inhabitants of a tumultuous planet.
