It's been a weird week and I think it's fair to say my reading has been reflecting that.
Oh, Lewis. What are you even?
There are ways in which this book is a meaningful exploration of what it means to be in a world where pain can happen, there are ways in which—in its ground rules and axioms—it begs so many questions in its Christian framework, and there are, of course, ways in which it utterly illuminates aspects of what Lewis was doing with Narnia.
He's such an interesting thinker and I'm glad I finally encountered his theology of omnipotence firsthand.
