Odd to read that C.S. Lewis doesn’t want to live under an omnipotent moral busybody.
Lewis gets pulled under the "Christian" umbrella far too often. I mean yes he was a Christian but wasn't a far-right nincompoop either.
Both he and JR Tolkien were contemporaries who shared a faith. The main difference between the two was Tolkien specifically didn't write allegorically while Lewis did.
Incidentally, Lewis's book Mere Christianity is what started my journey out of Christianity.
That's what I love about his writings. He simply let people decide for themselves, which is how it should be.
edit -- his book 'A Grief Observed' is his best imo.
Can you explain that last sentence? Maybe I don't know what allegory really is.
What is an allegory?-- An allegory is a narrative story used to convey an abstract, complex, or dangerous message.
How does an allegory work?-- Allegory works by giving characters and events in the story symbolic meanings. As readers, our attention remains on the surface story while a symbolic story plays out beneath.
What are the different kinds of allegories?- - When divided by tradition, allegories are either biblical, classical, or modern. When divided by literary device, allegories are personification allegories or symbolic allegories.
