    EVIL AND GOD
    DR JOAD’S ARTICLE ON ‘GOD AND EVIL’ LAST WEEK1 SUGGESTS the interesting conclusion that since neither ‘mechanism’ nor ‘emergent evolution’ will hold water, we must choose in the long run between some monotheistic philosophy, like the Christian, and some such dualism as that of the Zoroastrians.

    Lewis believed that the proper work of a literary critic is to write about the merits and faults of a book, rather than to speculate about the genesis of the book or the author’s private life.

    Lewis’s methods are not acceptable to liberal theologians (see, for example, his ‘Rejoinder to Dr Pittenger’), he has probably got more orthodox Christianity into more heads than any religious writer since G. K. Chesterton.
