Given the stirred hornet’s nest over THHB?
Is there a new controversy?Given the stirred hornet’s nest over THHB?
Hi HoA! How lovely to see you still here. And thank you for this bit of scholarship! I didn't remember that from MC.The only mention Lewis made of Islam that I can remember is in Mere Christianity, where he maintained that Christianity and Hinduism are the only viable options among the world's major religions. He dismissed Buddhism as a Hindu heresy and Islam as a Christian heresy. Technically that's accurate as Islam can be considered a form of Ebionitism, a Christian heresy that maintains Jesus was not divine but just a human prophet.
I think it's Mere Christianity, I haven't read it for a while so I might be getting mixed up with another essay but I know he wrote that somewhere.Is there a new controversy?

Do we believe the Calormenes are supposed to be a metaphor/or comparable to Muslims?
Interesting that he does not see Christianity as Jewish heresy. I mean, isn't Jesus just fulfilling the prophecy already told in the Old Testament? Without Genesis and the original sin, you really can't have Christ and the resurrection.The only mention Lewis made of Islam that I can remember is in Mere Christianity, where he maintained that Christianity and Hinduism are the only viable options among the world's major religions.
