More on C. S. Lewis

A reader writes …

Your recent comment on CS Leiws re: sexuality has brought a thought to mind. Lewis was also much broader in his approach than many give him credit for. His circle of friends in the Inklings, for instance, also represent a very broad approach to faith. Charles Williams was the mystic whose spiritual explorations would put most pentecostals to shams, Owen Barfield was a philsopher of language/lawyer whose work continues to inspire scholars working in the ‘new age’ and he was greatly influenced by new age thinker Rudolph Steiner. And of course their was Tolkien who was much more ‘liberal’ in his theology and considered Lewis to be a hack theologian. Maybe we can all be inspired by Lewis in his commitments to communty and diversity, if not his every thought.
