This is a big book. It’s not to be read at one sitting. It’s for dipping in and out. Lewis was plainly a hugely gifted man and I found his letters endlessly fascinating.

This, Lewis concludes, is probably the “most distressing text in the Bible”. It begs the question “whether one really could believe in a universe in which the majority were damned and also in the goodness of God”.
