Christian Reflections by C.S. Lewis

Why read the book? C.S. Lewis wrote Christian Reflections. This is a collection of fourteen essays published after his death and edited by Walter Hooper. The pieces were written between 1939 and 1962 and cover a wide range of topics. Lewis explores how Christianity relates to literature and art, the proper place of culture, the meaning of prayer, the dangers of modern biblical criticism, and what it means to live in light of eternity. Key essays include Christianity and Literature, Christianity and Culture, The World's Last Night, The Language of Religion, Petitionary Prayer, and Modern Theology and Biblical Criticism. Lewis argues that faith does not reject the world but redeems it. He shows that reason and imagination work together in the Christian life. The book helps readers think clearly about how to be a Christian in a changing culture without losing the heart of the faith. Favourite quote All that is not eternal is eternally out of date.
