I will say right up front that I have never warmed up to C. S. Lewis but I know a lot of people adore him. I have been warming up to Rowan Williams and what he says about the problems of rights and democracy but I'm in no way ready to address what he says about that. I do like what he says in this talk about the ideas we have about God - in a real sense anything we think about God will inevitably be something like in idol because God is going to always be beyond what we can imagine at any given time. I've never read the Narnia books. I have a feeling I'd find what Rowan Williams had to say about them would be more interesting to me than the books, themselves.
"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it." Jack Levine: January 3, 1915 – November 8, 2010 LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE
