Strong Lies
By mixing a little truth with it, they made their lie far stronger.
C.S. Lewis, The Last Battle: The Chronicles of Narnia. Cited by Chelsen Vicari, “Distortion: How the New Christian Left is Twisting the Gospel & Damaging the Faith, p.75
C.S. Lewis was a fairly good apologist, and has good teachings on overall Christian living and worldview; for that reason many of his writings are worthwhile. However, I would not recommend Lewis to immature believers or those lacking discernment because Lewis' theology was very Catholic, he taught evolution, and promoted the idea of mental diseases and other psychobabble. In some statements he made he seemed to be preaching universalism.

I was just wondering what your thoughts are about C.S. Lewis??? Just a little confused. Are you endorsing him his books or calling him out???

Exactly! That's what further research led me to be more careful when promoting CS Lewis! Thanks!
