The question that Shapiro asks — what denomination of Christianity are you going to look at — is a question that came to the late C. S. Lewis in the 1900s. And that is a valid question. This is how he came up with his account of “Mere Christianity.” Sitting at the crossroads of Roman Catholic and Protestant Christianity as he did in the Anglican Church, he was able to see down both roads and formulate a united view. The woman who he later married, Joy Davidson, was a Jewish woman who came to faith through Lewis’ writings.

It would be of a piece with the low key manner of God if the return of Jews to Christ had a major signpost pointing to the witness of C. S. Lewis, a man who was by no means perfect (what sinner is, in this world) but inspired by the love of the Father.

CS Lewis is one of my top 3 authors.

When I read "That Hideous Strength," I see our world today.

Our world has gone crazy. But it is coming around.
