 From The Problem of Pain
 : "I have the deepest respect even for Pagan myths, still more for myths in Holy Scripture..."
-: "What exactly happened when Man fell, we do not know; but if it is legitimate to guess, I offer the following picture – a 'myth' in the Socratic sense, a not unlikely tale..."
+:"I have the deepest respect even for Pagan myths, still more for myths in Holy Scripture..."
 From Miracles
 : "...the mythology chosen by God to be the vehicle of the earliest sacred truths, the first step in that process which ends in the [[New Testament]] where truth has become completely historical. Whether we can ever say with certainty where, in this process of crystallization, any particular [[Old Testament]] story falls, is another matter. I take it that the memoirs of [[King David|David]]’s court come at one end of the scale and are scarcely less historical than St. [[Aposlte Mark|Mark]] or [[Acts]]; and that the [[Book of Jonah]] is at the opposite end..."
 ====Evolution====
 From The Problem of Pain
 : "If by saying that man rose from brutality you mean simply that man is physically descended from animals, I have no objections... For long centuries God perfected the animal form which was to become the vehicle of humanity and the image of Himself... The creature may have existed for ages in this state before it became man... We do not know how many of these creatures God made, nor how long they continued in the Paradisal state..."
 ====Salvation====
 From Mere Christianity
 : "Now before I became a Christian I was under the impression that the first thing Christians had to believe was one particular theory as to what the point of (Christ’s) dying was. According to that theory God wanted to punish men for having deserted and joined the Great Rebel, but Christ volunteered to be punished instead, and so God let us off. Now I admit that even this theory does not seem to me quite so immoral and so silly as it used to... Theories about Christ’s death are not Christianity: they are explanations about how it works."
-: "There are people who do not accept the full Christian doctrine about Christ but who are so strongly attracted by Him that they are His in a much deeper sense than they themselves understand. There are people in other religions who are being led by God’s secret influence to concentrate on those parts of their religion which are in agreement with Christianity, and who thus belong to Christ without knowing it."

 ''Is Theology Poetry'' - C.S. Lewis
 : I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen. Not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
 [[The Problem of Pain]] - C.S. Lewis
 : Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal.
 [[The Screwtape Letters]] - C.S. Lewis
 : There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight.
 [[The Great Divorce]] - C.S. Lewis
 : There have been men before... who got so interested in proving the existance of [[God]] that they came to care nothing for God himself... as if the good Lord had nothing to do but to exist. There have been some who were so preoccupied with spreading [[Christianity]] that they never gave a thought to [[Christ]].
 [[Mere Christianity (book)|Mere Christianity]] - C.S. Lewis
 : I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept [[Jesus: Our Lord and God|His claim to be God]].' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things [[Jesus]] said would not be a great moral teacher. He would be either a lunatic - on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the [[Son of God]]: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.
 The World's Last Night - C.S. Lewis
 : The doctrine of the Second Coming teaches us that we do not and cannot know when the world drama will end. The curtain may be rung down at any moment: say, before you have finished reading this paragraph.
