Selected from sermons delivered by C. S. Lewis during World War II, these nine addresses show the beloved author and theologian bringing hope and courage in a time of great doubt. "The Weight of Glory," considered by many to be Lewis's finest sermon of all, is an incomparable explication of virtue, goodness, desire, and glory. Also included are: "Transposition," "On Forgiveness," "Why I Am Not a Pacifist," and "Learning in War-Time," in which Lewis presents his compassionate vision of Christianity in language that is both lucid and compelling.… (meer)

    Desiring God: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist door John Piper (atimco)
    atimco: "The Weight of Glory" is Lewis's sermon that sparked the whole idea of Christian hedonism in John Piper. Piper quotes it extensively in Desiring God, but it's good to read Lewis's thoughts in their full context.

A nice collection of essays, some better than others, varying from insightful to mere intellectual exercise. Regardless, there's plenty of wisdom to be found and it's relatively easy going compared to some of Lewis' other works. ( )

C. S. Lewis has a way of taking your brain, blending it up, stomping on it and somehow putting it back better. ( )

This is a book of essays. As usual, I struggle with C.S. Lewis. Sometimes he makes perfect sense, and helps me to understand what people are thinking with this whole religion thing. Other times he will make sweeping generalizations, "a scientist would think", "an atheist would think", that are frustrating. A good book, and I still admire him even if he sometimes makes me want to fling the book across the room.

I always enjoy C.S. Lewis. He thinks so logically and thoroughly on subjects which I have never considered. ( )

This is the first book I’ve ever finished by C.S. Lewis—including the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe series (yes, I know!). I assumed that I would find myself bored or confused by his books. I never knew how sharp his arguments are. I found myself constantly just impressed at how he weaves through this complicated theology in such a profound way. I’m sure that about five re-reads would have to be in order for me to even grasp half of what he’s saying, but for my first read, I gained a lot. This is one for those who like to argue, those on the fence, those who doubt the depth of faith. It was GOOD! ( )

THE WEIGHT OF GLORY: If you asked twenty good men today what they thought the highest of virtues, nineteen of them would reply, Unselfishness.
LEARNING IN WAR-TIME: A university is a society for the pursuit of learning.
WHY I AM NOT A PACIFIST: The question is whether to serve in the wars at the command of the civil society to which we belong is a wicked action, or an action morally indifferent, or an action morally obligatory.
TRANSPOSITION: In the church to which I belong this day is set apart for commemorating the descent of the Holy Ghost upon the first Christians shortly after the Ascension.
IS THEOLOGY POETRY?: The question I have been asked to discuss tonight - "Is Theology Poetry?" -- is not of my own choosing.

Ontwarringsbericht
Informatie afkomstig uit de Engelse Algemene Kennis. Bewerk om naar jouw taal over te brengen.
This work contains nine essays. Do not combine with editions containing only five. "The Weight of Glory" has been published in two major editions. The first, identical with "Transposition and other Addresses", was published with five essays in 1949 and intermittently until 1980, when an expanded edition was published, with four additional essays.

Those with pre-1980 five-essay works are invited to separate out and combine their editions with "Transposition and other Addresses".
