Review of C.S. Lewis Goes to Heaven

Review of C.S. Lewis Goes to Heaven (Dr. David G. Clark)

In C.S. Lewis’ The Great Divorce the narrator eventually meets a guide to help him comprehend his experiences. Some readers of that book wished they had their own mentor to assist them in better understanding it. The wish has been granted with David Clark’s book that is a detailed examination of The Great Divorce. In C.S. Lewis Goes to Heaven Clark proves to be a very interesting and valuable teacher who provides useful background information and details that are easily missed. These aspects include: 1.) How Lewis’ view of Purgatory was different than the Catholic view and 2.) Lewis’ belief that Jesus was able to speak to all of humankind because he descended into the timeless Hades, so all are given a chance to hear the gospel (even though many don’t accept it). For these and other aspects of Lewis’ theology Clark provides careful explanations and Biblical support.

Dr. David Clark Interview (C.S. Lewis Goes to Heaven)

Lewis: A Guide to His Theology was published; however the main focus is on his book just released this year, entitled C.S. Lewis Goes to Heaven: A Reader’s Guide to The Great Divorce.
