C. A. Lewis wrote some great essays here. They are relevant to the church today. These essays deal with women pastors, speaking in tongues, modern worship music and much more. Really enjoyed these.

I don’t usually know what exactly will be discussed in a C.S. Lewis book; usually the titles do not give a good guess on the topic. I would say the same here, but it doesn’t take away from the book; in fact, it further adds to the point. From what was read (heard), it seems the majority was not exactly on the Church per say, but rather the role of women in the Church, whether they are allowed to be priests or not, etc. In general, I think Lewis indicated his point very well and concisely. Worth the read to hear more about the topic of women, the role of priesthood, etc. in the Church.

Quick, enjoyable, insightful read

The section relating to worship in the church is particularly relevant to the regulative principle of worship.

Unfortunately Lewis never seemed to be aware of The One True Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, he does make apt comments on Protestantism and Roman Catholicism

Classic Lewis
