In the form of warm, relaxed letters to a close friend, C. S. Lewis meditates on many puzzling questions concerning the intimate dialogue between man and God. He considers practical and metaphysical aspects of prayer, such as when we pray and where. He questions why we seek to inform God in our prayers if he is omniscient, whether there is an ideal form of prayer, and which of our many selves we show to God while praying.

In one of his most enlightening works, C. S. Lewis shares his ruminations on both the form and the meaning of selected psalms. In the introduction he explains, "I write for the unlearned about things in which I am unlearned myself." Consequently, he takes on a tone of thoughtful collegiality as he writes on one of the Bible's most elusive books.

Historia
Why do we read literature and how do we judge it? C. S. Lewis' classic An Experiment in Criticism springs from the conviction that literature exists for the joy of the reader and that books should be judged by the kind of reading they invite. He argues that "good reading", like moral action or religious experience, involves surrender to the work in hand and a process of entering fully into the opinions of others: "in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself."

Charged with treason under Theodoric the Great in sixth-century Rome, Boethius served one year's imprisonment, awaiting trial and eventual execution. During this time, he wrote The Consolation of Philosophy, which would go on to be one of the most popular philosophical works of all time, contributing much to medieval thought and influencing the likes of Dante and Chaucer, as well as Renaissance writers, such as Milton and Shakespeare.

Historia
From the perspective of an unbeliever, Fear and Trembling explores the paradox of faith, the nature of Christianity, and the complexity of human emotion. Kierkegaard examines the biblical story of Abraham, who was instructed to sacrifice his son Isaac, and forces us to consider Abraham's state of mind. What drove Abraham, and what made him carry out such an absurd and extreme request from God? Kierkegaard argues that Abraham's agreement to sacrifice Isaac, and his suspension of reason, elevated him to the highest level of faith.

Historia
For over two millennia in the West, familiarity with the literature, philosophy, and values of the Classical World has been synonymous with education itself. The traditions of the Greeks explain why Western Culture’s unique tenets of democracy, capitalism, civil liberty, and constitutional government are now sweeping the globe. Yet the general public in America knows less about its cultural origins than ever before, as Classical education rapidly disappears from our high school and university curricula.

Interestingly, C. S. Lewis hated school as a child. He was placed in a boarding school, fairly typical for those in his social class at that time, which he compared to a concentration camp and a learning factory, locking children up, sending them through an assembly line, and expecting a collection of similar products coming out at the end. He was bullied and that became a familiar topic in his children’s books. Eventually his father decided to provide private tutoring for him and one particular tutor, William Kirkpatrick, made a particular impact on him, instilling in him the love for logic and for the classics that so greatly influenced his later writings and, though the tutor (as well as Lewis at that time) was an atheist, he probably laid the foundation for Lewis’ effectiveness as a Christian apologist later.
An interesting chapter related to this was “My First School,” which reminded me of my own difficulties in getting through school, not due to being bullied, but just having to fit into a system and on an artificial schedule which left me feeling bored and unable to concentrate in class. An earlier essay, “Learning in War-Time,” was also interesting in how he argues that the difficulties experienced as Britain was often under threat of being bombed were not truly the result of the war but were always there and just made more obvious by the war. It was an interesting read as I thought of the stresses on our own educational system during the Covid-19 crisis.
Lewis was also keenly interested in history and I enjoyed his chapter “ Is History Bunk?” Part of the attraction to this topic was remembering Henry Ford’s famous line, “History is more or less bunk,” though Ford’s statement is often taken out of context and doesn’t mean what it probably seems to mean by itself. But for Lewis, history was certainly important and this is a good essay for understanding his thoughts.
But, I highly recommend his essay, “Before We Can Communicate,” especially appropriate today. Lewis points to the importance of defining a shared vocabulary. If we don’t mean the same thing by the terms we use, we may be arguing around each other without ever understanding what the other person actually believes.
This is not something to read quickly at one setting since each chapter is a different essay so it is best to stop between each one to think and reflect. But it is not difficult reading. Lewis has a knack for writing in a clear and easily understood way. And it is easy to skip a chapter you aren’t interested in, though I didn’t find any that fit that bill.
