From the Desk of the Good Files:
Sharing with you some important articles and a message by my son Dean (Item #2).
May I simply say that the events we are currently seeing in our world have important prophetic implications for us to consider.
Luke 21:28 (KJV): And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Except on CS Lewsis Popularity
Exploring C.S. Lewis Lasting Popularity Among Evangelicals
The late British author C.S. (Clive Staples) Lewis (1898-1963), known as Jack, is extremely popular with evangelicals today. In fact, Lewis is loved with an equal fervor by “conservative evangelicals,” hell-denying emergents, Roman Catholics, Mormons, a growing number of fundamentalists, and even some atheists, a fact that
speaks volumes to those who have ears to hear.
Mark Tauber, senior vice president of HarperOne, an imprint of HarperCollins which owns the rights to Lewis’s estate, says, “Lewis reaches kids whose parents are reading [Narnia] to them at seven [years-old] or earlier, then people in evangelical or Catholic settings and in Mormon churches are using his adult nonfiction in their teachings. He reaches across age groups and different faith traditions” (“Exploring C.S. Lewis’s Lasting Popularity,” Publishers Weekly, Oct. 14, 2015).
C.S. Lewis Book Sales Among the Highest in Christian Circles
Though Lewis died in 1963, his book sales rose to two million a year by 1977 and totaled over 200 million in 2026, with no end in sight. No other “evangelical” author comes close to this. (Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven Life has sold 50 million copies.)
C.S. Lewis: Heresies and Denial of Scriptural Authority
Following are some of the fundamental doctrines of the Bible that C.S. Lewis rejected:
- The inerrant inspiration of Scripture
- The historicity of the Bible
- The necessity of supernatural conversion through repentance and personal faith
in Christ - The “Penal Substitutionary Atonement”
- Salvation by grace without works and sacraments
- The sole Mediatorship of Jesus Christ
- The existence of heaven and hell
- The literal six-day creation
- The doctrine of an eternal, fiery hell
- The doctrine of the finality of one’s destiny at death
- Salvation exclusively through the name of Christ
