Book 4, Chapter 8 Is Christianity Hard or Easy?

Season 4 · Episode 8

Wednesday, April 3, 2024 • Duration 11:59

In the last few chapters, Lewis has presented the Christian idea of dressing up as a Son of God as the means of becoming a son of God.

With this picture of a three-part God in mind (and Lewis provides greater detail in this chapter about the third person, the Holy Ghost), how are we to be drawn into their life of love, i.e., go from "made" to "begotten"? Lewis observes that it is like being infected...
