[edit] Pagan
I removed these two paragraphs from the "pagan" section of "Influences" sub heading, stating that they were irrelevent in the context of this article.
- A: CS Lewis himself stated in an essay called Is Theism Important?:
“When grave persons express their fear that England is relapsing into Paganism, I am tempted to reply, ‘Would that she were.’ For I do not think it at all likely that we shall ever see Parliament opened by the slaughtering of a garlanded white bull in the House of Lords or Cabinet Ministers leaving sandwiches in Hyde Park as an offering for the Dryads. If such a state of affairs came about, then the Christian apologist would have something to work on. For a Pagan, as history shows, is a man eminently convertible to Christianity. He is essentially the pre-Christian, or sub-Christian, religious man. The post-Christian man of our day differs from him as much as a divorcee differs from a virgin.” (Lewis 1994)
- B: In Lewis’ Space Trilogy the Christian God and Satan appear and take a large part in the plot (especially in Perelandra) but so do the Roman gods Mars and Venus. Lewis solves this apparent contradiction by making clear that these are not really gods but angels who have always been loyal servants of the real God, and it was only ignorant humans who mistook them for gods. As stated in his non-fiction book The Discarded Image, an Introduction to Medieval and Renaissance Literature (1964), this was not Lewis' invention but was derived from late medieval philosophers.
