C.S. Lewis’s The Great Divorce is a work that showcases the many patterns of denial and rejection that people use to avoid giving their lives to God. Lewis attempts to show the difference between heaven and hell. He does not do this in the literal sense of the places where humanity will be going in eternity. Rather‚ he embodies the figurative sense of heaven and hell which people experience on earth. He focuses on the importance of our earthly decisions in the balance of not only how we spend eternity

our nature. Natural law‚ which determines good and evil‚ is the same as moral law and we cannot repel it because we cannot take away the fact that we are human beings.

The Rival Conceptions of God by C.S. Lewis When you are a Christian you do not need to believe that every other religion is wrong completely. Though if you are an atheist you have to believe that the main point in every religion is completely wrong. Though Christians are free to think that all religions have some aspects of being true. It’s like a math problem‚ there can only be one right answer but there are many answers that are closer than others. Even the dumbest religions have some aspect of

On Cyprus‚ Iago‚ who is angered that Othello promoted Cassio plans to destroy Othello by convincing him that Desdemona is cheating on him with Cassio. If I could study a single aspect of the play is Shakespeare’s use of dramatic irony. An early example of that in the play is when Iago reveals his detailed plans to destroy Othello and the people Othello cares about. The audience witnesses and hears the entire plan and they are helpless to stop him. As Iago’s plan unfolds

Keller is a master in clarifying the case for Christ to anyone who reads this book. C.S. Lewis uses the same type of arguments in many of his written works‚ part of the reason why it is not surprising to see over ten different quotes from Lewis’ works this book. Lewis states that there are two kinds of people‚ “those who say “thy will be done” to God or those to whom God in the end says‚ “Thy will be done”” (82). This insight is amazingly clever‚ but not only that‚ it accentuates the point that Keller
