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. When he’s writing to his fellow Christians he can be profundity itself. In one he describes an evening spent with fellow theologians (including Tolkien) mulling over Matthew 7:14, a text that declares that “narrow is the way and few they be that find it”. 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”.
